PTFE Chevron Seals for high level applications

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed information on PTFE Chevron Seals, highlighting their applications, specifications, and benefits. Simrit, a global technology specialist, offers a comprehensive range of sealing products and services, ensuring competitive advantages through innovation and expertise.
Product Specifications: PTFE Chevron Seals are designed for high-level applications, offering universal chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, and stability under compressive loads. They are available in various profiles and materials, including pure PTFE, PTFE compounds, and PTFE-impregnated plastic fabric.
Applications: These seals are suitable for control and shut-off valves, plunger pumps, metering systems, agitators, hydraulic cylinders, and rotary joints. They are particularly effective in environments with chemical, thermal, and mechanical loads.
Operating Limits: The seals can withstand pressures up to 30 MPa and temperatures ranging from -200°C to 260°C. They are designed for both continuous and intermittent operations, with specific linear velocity limits.
Installation and Fitting Instructions: PTFE Chevron Seals require pretensioning with spring elements to prevent deformation due to thermal influences. Installation spaces should be designed to avoid damage to sealing edges, and surface quality is crucial for optimal performance.
Material and Design Considerations: The document outlines the benefits of using compression-moulded PTFE chevron sealing sets, which offer reduced cold flow and extrusion tendencies. Combined sealing sets provide enhanced stability and sealing effects.
Simrit Services: Simrit offers a wide range of value-added services, including technological expertise, strong product brands, and a global distribution network. Their service package ensures rapid availability of spare parts and solutions tailored to specific application requirements.

PTFE Chevron Seals  for high level applications-3

Multi-part high-resistance sealing sets for translatory applications Chevron sealing sets are multi-part sealing sets, primarily designed for translatory movements. They generally consist of a pressure ring, a support ring and several chevron seals. The profile design and number of parts as well as the combination/selection of materials are determined according to the operating conditions. Special high-pressure chevron sealing sets are available for chemical, thermal and mechanical loads occurring simultaneously. and shut-off valves pumps ■ metering systems ■ agitators ■ hydraulic cylinders ■...

Recommended number of chevron seals in sets DM 9403 Pressure levels The temperature range specified for pure PTFE can be greatly increased by including components made of PTFE compound. Linear velocities Continuous operation Intermittent operation With lengthy duty cycles, jerky operation or other difficult operating conditions the recommended values given should not be used to the full. Operating temperatures of –200° to 260°C are possible but should be seen in relation to pressure and linear velocity. The media also has an influence on the permissible dynamic limit parameters.

PTFE/fabric-chevron sealing sets (compression-moulded) Operating limits Mixed chevron sealing sets made of PTFE and PTFE-impregnated plastic fabric offer much greater stability under compressive load with lower thermal expansion than chevron sealing sets made of pure PTFE or PTFE compound. Depending on the application and the operating conditions PTFE-impregnated plastic fabric chevron seals can be installed on their own or combined with chevron seals made of pure PTFE or PTFE compound. Here it should be borne in mind that combined chevron sealing sets offer a greater sealing effect due to the...
