Tömítésseal

Tömítésseal is a general term referring to a sealing element or gasket used to prevent leakage between two mating surfaces. These surfaces can be static, such as in a flange joint, or dynamic, where there is relative motion, like in a shaft seal. The primary function of a tömítésseal is to maintain the integrity of a system by containing fluids or gases and preventing their escape into the environment or contamination from external sources.

The design and material of a tömítésseal are critical and depend heavily on the application. Factors influencing the choice include the pressure and temperature of the system, the chemical compatibility with the media being sealed, the required lifespan, and the mechanical stresses involved. Common materials include rubber, various polymers, metals, and composites, each offering different properties such as elasticity, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance.

Tömítésseals are employed across a vast range of industries and applications. In automotive engineering, they are vital for engine gaskets, transmission seals, and fuel system components. In plumbing and HVAC systems, they ensure leak-free connections for pipes and ducts. Industrial machinery relies on tömítésseals for pumps, valves, and hydraulic systems. Even in everyday items like faucets and appliances, tömítésseals play a crucial role in their functionality and longevity. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to ensure the effective performance of any tömítésseal.
