Seal and Sealing Techniques for Aerospace and Defence Applications

Abstract

THE techniques employed in the sealing of different types of fluid systems used in today's aircraft have been developed over many years. These systems contain equipment which incorporates seat configurations designed to give maximum sealing efficiency. High performance polymers have been used for the basis of these seals together with the continuing development of plastics have combined to give new life to older seal shapes while providing the opportunity for entirely new designs.
