tömítelemekhez

Tömítőelemekhez is a Hungarian term that appears in technical texts to indicate compatibility or applicability with sealing elements. The base word tömítőelem means a seal element used to prevent leakage or ingress between mating parts, and the suffix -hez marks purpose or direction, roughly translating to “for sealing elements” or “to sealing elements.” In manuals, catalogs, and installation guides, tömítőelemekhez signals that a component, accessory, or instruction is intended for use with seal elements or in sealing applications.

Sealing elements are used across many industries, including mechanical engineering, plumbing, automotive, and construction. Their primary function is to close gaps between surfaces, accommodate surface irregularities, and maintain a barrier against liquids, gases, or dust. The category tömítőelemekhez thus often appears in sections listing replacement parts, compatible accessories, or steps in assembly where sealing elements are involved.

Common types of tömítőelemek include O-rings, flat gaskets, gasket rings, lip seals, and sealing profiles, as well as related items like sealing strips or packing materials. Materials used for sealing elements vary with application and can include elastomers such as NBR, EPDM, silicone, and FKM (Viton), as well as PTFE or metal gaskets for high-temperature or high-pressure environments. Selection depends on chemical compatibility, temperature and pressure ranges, media, and mechanical movement.

Installation and maintenance considerations emphasize cleanliness, correct seating and compression, appropriate lubrication for certain elastomers, and avoidance of incompatible chemicals. Standards and specifications for dimensions and materials exist across ISO, DIN/EN, and industry-specific guidelines, depending on the seal type. See also tömítőanyag, tömítőgyűrű, tömítőgumi.
