QUALIFICATION OF DYNAMIC SEALS
Dynamic sealing of rotating machinery
Test benches to qualify and validate dynamic seals
The green energy transition imposes, inter alia, better control of friction (highly energy consumers) and leaks (pollution).
You are a manufacturer of dynamic seals, you want to improve, optimise or check the sealing performance of your seals:
- Validation of a new design, a new product or a leak-tightness level
- Performance of qualification or characterisation tests
- Control of wear, friction or durability
You are a user of dynamic seals and want to characterise, qualify or check the sealing performance of your seals:
- Determination of the possibility of integrating this type of seals into your equipment
- Performance of qualification or characterisation tests
- Performance of endurance tests, severisation tests, etc.
More generally, you want to determine the sealing performance of dynamic seals under specific operating conditions, in accordance with standards, etc.
We can provide assistance throughout your project:
- Development of specific tests under high speed conditions
- Support in the drafting of the test protocols as needed
- Performance of standardised tests or tests in accordance with particular specifications, either on a testing platform or at the customer’s site
- Correlation of experimental tests and numerical simulations
- Failure analysis of dynamic seals
Our test benches are specific and unique in Europe:
- Temperature: -50 to 200°C
- Pressure: -1 to 50 bar
- Fluid: water, oil, gas, etc.
- Rotational speed: up to 25,000 rpm
