Gland Seal with Soft Packing of Trapezoidal Cross Section and Inside Seating of the Pressure Flange

Resumo

Results of an analysis of three types of gland seals with soft packing and inside seating of the pressure flange are presented. The packing had a cylindrical or trapezoidal cross section with standard or tapered o-ring gaskets. It was shown that gland seals with packing o-ring gaskets that were pressed beforehand in special matrices or directly in the gland body were most effective.
