Handbook of Fluid Sealing

This desktop reference for mechanical engineers covers the design, application, testing, and manufacture of seals and gaskets for static and dynamic fluid sealing. Guidance is included on materials selection, test techniques, instrumentation, and mathematical tools. Coverage includes: static seals, elastometric and nonelastometric seals, liquid gaskets and sealants; dynamic seals including radial lip and mechanical face seals, seals and packings for reciprocating and rotating shafts, noncontacting seals; and fluids and lubricants grease, engine and gear oil, and automatic transmission fluids.
