中文简体Maintaining sealing integrity is crucial in various applications, and nitrile rubber seals are widely used due to their excellent oil resistance, fuel resistance, and many chemical properties. To ensure the service life and effectiveness of nitrile rubber seals, we need to pay attention to these details:
Install correctly to ensure that the seal is not twisted or stretched during installation. Using appropriate lubrication can simplify installation without damaging the seals.
The surface should be treated and the sealing surface should be clean, smooth, and free of any debris, corrosion, or burrs. Damaged sealing surfaces can cause leakage.
Lubricate the seals and sealing surfaces according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This reduces friction and heat generation during initial use, extending the service life of the seal.
Avoid excessive compression, as excessive compression of seals may lead to premature failure.
Nitrile rubber has limitations under extreme temperature conditions, so it is necessary to pay attention to the temperature range of seal design.
Ensure that the seals are compatible with the chemicals and liquids in contact with nitrile rubber. Nitrile rubber is not suitable for all chemicals.
Regularly inspect the seals for signs of wear, damage, or degradation. Early detection of problems can prevent costly malfunctions.
If damage, wear, or reduced sealing performance is found, please replace the seal immediately. Attempting to extend the service life of aging seals may lead to leaks and system failures.
Store seals in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, ozone, and extreme temperatures, as rubber will degrade over time.
Using a support ring, in high-pressure applications, consider combining the support ring with nitrile rubber seals. The support ring provides additional support and helps maintain sealing integrity under pressure.
