The first choice in high-temperature environments: Advantages of high-temperature-resistant metal seals over rubber seals

metal o ring

preface:

In high temperature environments, the selection of seals is crucial to the stable operation of the equipment. Traditional rubber seals may lose elasticity and age rapidly under high temperature conditions, while high-temperature-resistant metal seals are favored for their unique properties. This article will delve into the advantages of high-temperature-resistant metal seals over rubber seals and explain your preferred method in high-temperature environments.

1. High temperature resistance:

Stronger stability: High-temperature-resistant metal seals are usually made of high-temperature alloys or special metals. They have excellent high-temperature resistance and can maintain a stable sealing effect under extreme temperatures and are not easy to deform or age.

Wider scope of application: Rubber seals have limited high-temperature resistance, while high-temperature-resistant metal seals can work in a higher temperature range, so they are more widely used in high-temperature processes and special industries.

2. Corrosion resistance:

Stronger corrosion resistance: High-temperature-resistant metal seals are often made of corrosion-resistant special alloy materials. They have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for sealing requirements of corrosive media.

Better long-term stability: Due to the corrosion resistance of metal materials, high-temperature-resistant metal seals can maintain stable performance during long-term use and are not susceptible to corrosion, leading to seal failure.

3. Mechanical properties:

Stronger pressure resistance: High-temperature resistant metal seals usually have higher mechanical strength and pressure resistance, and are suitable for sealing requirements in high-pressure environments.

Better wear resistance: Due to their higher hardness, metal seals are better able to withstand mechanical wear and extend service life than rubber seals.

4. Maintainability:

Easy to clean and maintain: Metal seals have a smooth surface and are easy to clean and maintain, while rubber seals may absorb dirt and be difficult to clean, causing some trouble in equipment maintenance.

in conclusion:

In high-temperature environments, high-temperature-resistant metal seals have stronger high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and maintainability than rubber seals. This makes high temperature resistant metal seals an ideal choice in industrial fields with high sealing requirements under high temperature conditions, ensuring safe operation and long-term stability of equipment.
