FAQs on Seal resistance

What is the formula to find Seal resistance?
The formula of Seal resistance is expressed as Seal Resistance = Friction Force in Elastic Packing-(Coefficient of Friction in Elastic Packing*Area of Seal Contacting Sliding Member*Fluid Pressure in Elastic Packing). Here is an example- 188.8125 = 294-(0.3*8.25E-05*4240000).
How to calculate Seal resistance?
With Friction Force in Elastic Packing (Ffriction), Coefficient of Friction in Elastic Packing (μ), Area of Seal Contacting Sliding Member (A) & Fluid Pressure in Elastic Packing (p) we can find Seal resistance using the formula - Seal Resistance = Friction Force in Elastic Packing-(Coefficient of Friction in Elastic Packing*Area of Seal Contacting Sliding Member*Fluid Pressure in Elastic Packing).
Can the Seal resistance be negative?
No, the Seal resistance, measured in Force cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Seal resistance?
Seal resistance is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Seal resistance can be measured.
