This book sets out to introduce the subject of sealing technology and provide the reader with an understanding of the issues involved and sufficient information, or sources of information, to assist with achieving reliable and effective sealing both when designing new equipment or as a solution to a maintenance or performance problem.
It is intended for design and development engineers from the many industries that use seals and the operations and maintenance engineers involved with the plant and machinery once it is in use. The reader should find information that will help to select an appropriate seal arrangement and optimize a current design, and if necessary explore alteative sealing methods in the search for a more reliable or cost-effective solution.
