Compatibility with seals

Biomedical. Heart-valve parts are fabricated from pyrolytic carbon, which is compatible with living tissue. Such parts are produced by high temperature pyrolysis of gases such as methane. Other potential biomedical apphcations are dental implants and other prostheses where a seal between the implant and the living biological surface is essential. Plasma and arc-wire sprayed coatings are used on prosthetic devices, eg, hip implants, to achieve better bone/tissue attachments (see Prosthetic and BiOLffiDiCALdevices). [Pg.51]

Compatibility and Corrosion. Gas turbine fuels must be compatible with the elastomeric materials and metals used in fuel systems. Elastomers are used for O-rings, seals, and hoses as well as pump parts and tank coatings. Polymers tend to swell and to improve their sealing abiUty when in contact with aromatics, but degree of swell is a function of both elastomer-type and aromatic molecular weight. Rubbers can also be attacked by peroxides that form in fuels that are not properly inhibited (see Elastomers, synthetic Rubber, natural). [Pg.416]

Polymers used for seat and plug seals and internal static seals include PTFE (polytetrafluoroeth ene) and other fluorocarbons, polyethylene, nylon, polyether-ether-ketone, and acetal. Fluorocarbons are often carbon or glass-filled to improve mechanical properties and heat resistance. Temperature and chemical compatibility with the process fluid are the key selec tion criteria. Polymer-lined bearings and guides are used to decrease fric tion, which lessens dead band and reduces actuator force requirements. See Sec. 28, Materials of Construction, for properties. [Pg.790]

In an offshore application the process gas flowing into a 3,600 kW turboexpander was compatible with the magnetic bearing material and a suitable seal gas source was available. This made it possible to use a pressurized bearing housing. [Pg.339]

In this design, the inboard labyrinth of the DGS is fed with seal gas that is compatible with the process gas. The outboard labyrinth is injected with an inert gas. With this arrangement, the bearing housing is purged with inert gas, the seal gas leakage is minimized, and the mixture of seal gas and inert gas is vented to a flare or disposal system. Figure 6-21 shows a cross-section of a turboexpander with AMB and DGS. [Pg.359]

Silicones. Silicones are useful where high temperature resistance or compatibility with silicone components such as molded seals are needed. Silicone firewall insulation materials and silicone gaskets and seals are bonded with silicone rubber adhesives. [Pg.1186]

Polyethylene can be chlorinated in solution in carbon tetrachloride or in suspension in the piescnce ot a catalyst. Below 55-60% chlorine, it is more stable and more compatible with many polymers, especially polyvinyl chloride, to which it gives increased impact strength. The low pressure process copolymerizes polyethylene with propylene and butylene to increase its resistance to stress cracking. Copolymerization with vinyl acetate at high pressure increases flexibility, resistance to stress cracking, and seal ability of value to the food industry. [Pg.280]

In a fully synthetic FR fluid, the fire resistance is due to the chemical nature of the fluid in the others, it is afforded by the presence of water. The other main distinction between the two groups is that the fully synthetic fluids are generally better lubricants and are available for use at operating temperatures up to 150°C (272°F), but are less likely to be compatible with the conventional sealing materials and paints than are water-based products. [Pg.864]

Because systems are normally not designed for use with this type of fluid, certain aspects should be reviewed with the equipment and fluid suppliers before a decision to use such fluids can be taken. These are compatibility with filters, seals, gaskets, hoses, paints and any non-ferrous metals used in the equipment. Condensation corrosion effect on ferrous metals, fluid-mixing equipment needed, control of microbial infection together with overall maintaining and control of fluid dilution and the disposal of waste fluid must also be considered. Provided such attention is paid to these designs and operating features, the cost reductions have proved very beneficial to the overall plant cost effectiveness. [Pg.864]

Note It is essential that lubricants are compatible with the materials used in the construction of machine tools, and particularly with sealing devices. [Pg.869]

Both physical and process-material considerations influence the choice and use of shaft seals in the industry. It is essential that the seal material is compatible with any process material and the operating variables. [Pg.883]

Nitrile rubbers, including fiber-reinforced varieties, are used both as radial shaft-seal materials and as molded packing for reciprocating shafts. They have excellent resistance to a considerable range of chemicals, with the exception of strong acids and alkalis, and are at the same time compatible with petroleum-based lubricants. Their working temperature range is from —1°C to 107°C (30°F to 225°F) continuously and up to 150°C (302°F) intermittently. When used on hard shafts with a surface finish of, at most, 0.00038 mm root mean square (RMS), they have an excellent resistance to abrasion. [Pg.883]

Silicone rubber as a shaft seal and backing material has a number of special applications. It can be used over a temperature range of —60°C to 260°C (—76°F to 500°F) in air or suitable fluids. Its abrasion resistance is good with hard shafts having a 0.000254 mm RMS surface finish. Commercial grades of silicone rubber are compatible with most industrial chemicals up to 260°C (500°F). In lubricating oils, the limiting temperature is 120°C (250°F), but special types have been developed for use up to 200°C (392°F). [Pg.883]

Rubber bellows casings and sealing rings are vulnerable to temperature and are thus limited to a range of between 0°C to 100°C (32°F to 212°F). Rubber is compatible with most industrial chemicals and is particularly useful in the presence of solids. [Pg.883]

Consideration should be given to the compatibility with the corrosive environment of the probe casing materials as well as seals used in construction. [Pg.1136]

In 2003, the microwave-assisted coupUng of aryl hahdes with acetylenes using a palladium catalyst were carried out employing a modified Smith Process vial [49]. These vessels, equipped with a polypropylene frit and screw cap at the bottom, and sealed with an aluminum crimp cap fitted with a silicon septum at the top (Fig. 8), faciUtated the processing of approximately 1 g of solid support. Notably, they are compatible with stirring of the reaction mixture and monitoring of the temperature and pressure. [Pg.90]

In an effort to restrict the location of semiconductor nanoparticles in LB films and inhibit aggregation, the formation of CdS in LB films of calixarenes was investigated [195]. Limiting areas of 3.0 nm and 1.8 nm were obtained on 0.5 mM CdCli, compatible with the cross-sectional areas of the calixarenes. Y-type LB fdms were prepared at 25 mN m on glass, quartz, and silicon. The substrates had been made hydrophobic by treatment with a silane vapor. After H2S treatment overnight in sealed jars, UV absorbance spectra and XPS data were obtained. The absorption edge for the CdS particles formed in the calixarene LB films transferred at pH 5.5 was 3.3 eV as compared with 2.7 eV for films formed in cad-... [Pg.93]
