The Parker Métal Seal
The most extreme environments demand métal seal sealing solutions. Résilient métal seals meet the challenges of high températures or cryogénies, high pressures or hard vacuum, corrosive Chemicals and even intense levels of radiation performing dependably year after year.
Advantages of Métal Seals
•Independent Optimization of Functional Components
means each discrète function including load, springback and outer sealing layer ductility/hardness can be optimized to en-sure highest seal performance in every situation.
•Directly Bonded Electroplating onto the load bearing substrate éliminâtes unnecessary parts and failure modes.
•Pressure Energization uses internai hydrostatic pressures beneficially to supplément the self-energization forces from the tubing, jacket or spring. This becomes particularly helpful at high pressures over 21 MPa (3,000 psi) enabling métal seals to seal at 170 MPa psi (25,000) and beyond, without risk of blow-by during proof or burst testing.
•Total Métal Seal Service covers custom and standard sized seals from 6 mm to 7.60 m (0.250* to 300"), including circular and non-circular shapes. We also offer the complété range of MS métal O-ring sizes, ail AS1895 E-ring sizes, and the fastest delivery of C-rings from our preferred size list (see page E-86).
•Rapid Response and JIT (just-in-time) deliveries are assured due to design, testing and ail manufacturing processes (including roll and die-forming, machining, welding, heat-treatment, electroplating) being performed within our own facilities.
