How to choose metal seals for high temperature environments?

In high temperature environments, it is crucial to select suitable metal seals to ensure the reliability and performance of the equipment. Here are some key factors for selecting metal seals in high temperature environments:

Material selection:

It is crucial to select materials with excellent high temperature resistance. Commonly used high temperature metal materials include stainless steel, nickel-based alloys (such as Inconel), titanium alloys, etc. These materials have good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance and are suitable for sealing applications in high temperature environments.

Sealing performance:

Sealing performance directly affects the stable operation of the equipment. When selecting metal seals, its sealing performance should be considered to ensure that it can effectively prevent media leakage and maintain the sealing effect for a long time.

Pressure and temperature range:

Understanding the pressure and temperature range of the equipment working environment is the key to selecting suitable metal seals. Ensure that the pressure and temperature resistance of the selected seals can meet the requirements of actual working conditions.

Shape and size:

The shape and size of the seal must match the structure and size of the equipment to ensure that the seal can fully cover and seal the required contact surface.

Installation and maintenance convenience:

Considering the installation and maintenance convenience of the seal, selecting seals that are easy to install and replace can reduce maintenance time and cost.

In summary, when selecting metal seals for high temperature environments, factors such as material selection, sealing performance, pressure and temperature range, shape and size, and ease of installation and maintenance need to be considered. By comprehensively considering these factors, high-performance metal seals suitable for high temperature environments can be selected to ensure safe and stable operation of the equipment.
