Self Aligning Radial Clearance Seals

. Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Fluid Sealing, (1967)5.

Abstract

Balance, leakage and power loss of self aligning radial clearance seals are functions of the seal face geometry and of the by-pass flow into the clearance. The paper presents design data over a practical range of parameters. Working diagrams are given tor a rapid calculation of the seal characteristics. Experimental results with a buffer gas test seal are discussed.
