VS-FL6


Internal Pressure Face Seal

Designed to prevent internal pressure or media exiting between two faces. This seal has low friction should there be movement between the surfaces.  Traditionally used to seal corrosive media or at challenging temperatures. Used instead of HS-FL6 when vibration is an issue.

*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.
