The impregnated hexagonal wire mesh will lose its original characteristics after corrosion, and will change in shape, color and mechanical properties, resulting in equipment damage, pipeline leakage, etc., specifically, it is easy to break and lose the original protection function. Usually there are three kinds of metal corrosion: physical corrosion, chemical corrosion, electrochemical corrosion, corrosion in addition to the chemical properties and organizational structure of the metal itself, but also related to the surrounding medium, such as wet environment than dry environment easy corrosion, more impurities than impurities less easy corrosion, high temperature conditions than low temperature conditions easy corrosion. After understanding these, we can effectively prevent the corrosion of impregnated hexagonal wire mesh, prolong the service life of products.

1. What are oil seals?

If you are looking for the highest temperature resistant oil seals, Perfluoelastomer can go up to 600°F. If you are more concerned for low temperature, Chloroprene can go all the way down to 40°F, which is why it is used most commonly for refrigeration. And if FDA applications or medical devices are your primary concern, Butyl , the all petroleum compound, will be your best choice. As you can see, when choosing the right material to work with, you must analyze several other key components to help choose the right one.

Viton (FKM/FPM) Oil Seals

Requirements of the shaft
Even more important than a correct interference fit of the Oil Seal is a perfectly smooth shaft in the region of the seal, particularly if shaft surface speed is high and the medium to be sealed is under a certain amount of excess pressure. The surface roughness of the shaft depends on the average profile depth Ra of the tool marks caused by the machining process. Oil Seals made of PTFE require, independent of the surface speed, a surface roughness of between 0,1 to 0,2 mm, because PTFE has less wear resistance than rubber seals. For normal circumstances, the shaft in the region of the seal must have a surface roughness of approximately:  To summarize, the surface of the shaft in the region of the seal should not have noticeable machining marks. For pivoting shafts and other difficult or critical sealing applications, it is recommended that Oil Seals with a helical groove hydrodynamic pattern, which has a pumping effect, be used. When grinding and polishing, an axial movement of the grindstone along the shaft must be avoided in order to prevent machine lay.
