General use of sealing rings pay attention to common sense

When using the seal ring, you need to pay attention to the following common sense:

Select the right sealing ring: Select the right sealing ring material according to the working environment (such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosive and other harsh environments). At the same time, ensure that the size of the sealing ring matches the component to be installed, and avoid installing improper or deformed sealing rings.

Preparation before installation: Before installing the sealing ring, ensure that the joint surface is clean and free of oil and other impurities. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the joint surface is smooth and there is no obvious damage or wear.

Use special tools: When installing the seal ring, special tools should be used to avoid damage to the seal ring due to the use of inappropriate tools. During the installation process, special care should be taken not to force the installation to prevent damage to the sealing ring due to tapping or excessive compression/extension.

Proper lubrication: Before installation, an appropriate amount of lubricant should be applied to the joint surface and seal to reduce friction, protect the seal, and make it easier to install. However, it should be noted that the use of inappropriate lubricants should be avoided to avoid adverse effects on the sealing ring.

Regular inspection and replacement: Seals may be subjected to wear or aging during use. Therefore, it is necessary to check the status of the seal ring regularly and replace it in time when wear or aging is found. In addition, expired seals should also be replaced in time to ensure their sealing performance.

Pay attention to cleaning and maintenance: After using the seal ring, the installation position should be cleaned to prevent blockage and burrs from affecting the normal operation of the machine. At the same time, regular maintenance of the seal ring, such as applying lubricants, to reduce friction and extend its service life.

Following the above common sense can ensure the normal use of the seal ring and extend its service life, but also improve the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment.
