HS-FL7


External Pressure Face Seal

Designed to prevent external pressure or media entering between two faces. This seal is used to seal corrosive media or gases, as well as vacuum conditions. The additional load of the helical spring provides a gas-tight seal even under fluctuating temperature cycles.

*Important Note: Maximum values above depend on extrusion gap, clearances, seal material, media, temperatures, pressures, surface speed, dynamic running surface finish and working environment. Seals cannot be operated at their upper ratings at the same time. For pressure above 3.000psi (210bar)or temperature above 200°F (95°C), please contact engineering for seal material and hardware specification.
