Multichamber Face Gland Seal

Аннотация

Equations for use in determining the basic parameters of a multichamber face gland seal, such as the number of chambers and the forces of pre-loaded fastening elements, are presented. A uniform distribution of the load on the packing along the length of the seal in the case of a minimal load (based on the airtightness of the connection) is thereby achieved, thus assuring a decrease in the losses in power caused by friction in the seal.
