Seal Systems in Hydrospace. Phase I. Mechanical Integrity of Flange Seal Systems.

Abstract

Long-term effects of hydrospace on seals and gaskets are under investigation at NCEL. Phase I includes investigation of the mechanical integrity of fifteen seal systems by means of tests in pressure vessels. There was no seal extrusion or leakage of any of the configurations investigated. Long-term ocean exposures and cyclic loading of seal systems in pressure vessels are planned. (Author)
