Mechanical Seals – Why Use Them? In mechanical work, there is need to ensure that connected parts are well joined together. Parts that are well fastened together do not fall apart with ease and they are also strong. Times come when mechanical structures hold fluids as part of their purpose. This necessitates existence of very well connected joints within the structure. To achieve this you need to use seals on such joints or structures. To solve this leakage problem, mechanical seals are used. So what are this mechanical seals? Well, mechanical seals are devices that are used whenever systems are being joined mechanically. They are mainly used on openings of devices to avoid any leakage. In some cases, seals may be referred to as packing due to the fact that they keep anything inside a system from leaking. Sealants and gaskets are some forms of mechanical seals. Sealants are mechanical seals that use adhesives to keep two mechanically joined parts together. The strength of sealants is therefore defined by how strength of adhesive used. Prevention of leakage is achieved by using pressure when it comes to gaskets. It is therefore clear that the effectiveness of gaskets is dependent on compression.…
