Sealing for API 6D ball valve and LNG at cryogenic temperatures has its own unique set of challenges. JST has a wide range of solutions for cryogenic sealing applications. The range includes valve stem seals and valve seat seals. Compounds and designs could vary as per specific applications. The material mainly includes polymer jacket (virgin PTFE, filled PTFE, TFM, PCTFE, UHMW-PE, PEEK, etc.) and...
PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, commonly known as Teflon) backup rings both play important roles in sealing applications, but they have some significant differences in material properties and application benefits. Here are their differences and their respective advantages: 1. Differences in material properties PEEK backup rings: Strength and rigidity: PEEK has high m...
In a 6A gate valve, the seat seal application is crucial for ensuring tight shutoff, particularly in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, such as in the oil and gas industry. API 6A valves are manufactured following standards for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment, where the gate valve provides on/off control with a straight-through flow. Here’s an overview of key considerations for...
Are you looking for spring energized face seals? Spring Energized Face Seals are designed for applications with high pressures and temperatures, cryogenic fluids, extreme media and other service conditions which exceed the performance characteristics of O-rings and conventional elastomeric seals. Spring energized PTFE seals use one of three different types of springs to energize the jacket. W...
(I)Combined seals 1.Step seal: The Step seal structure is similar to that of the Glyd ring, and is composed of an O-type rubber seal and a special rectangular or trapezoidal seal filled with polytetrafluoroethylene. Step seals can be divided into hole seals and shaft seals, which only have a one-way sealing effect. Step seals are characterized by low friction, no creeping, and long service life. I...
Heat treatment has become a key step in the manufacturing of sealing springs, making significant contributions to improving their efficiency, durability, and service life. This treatment involves strategic applications of heat and cooling methods, intentionally altering the physical and chemical properties of the material. It is mainly applied in the metallurgical field and also greatly beneficial...
Choosing the right seal for cryogenic valves is critical to ensure reliable performance in extremely low-temperature environments. Here's a detailed guide to help you make an informed decision: Key Factors to Consider: 1: Operating Temperature Range Cryogenic valves typically operate at temperatures as low as -196°C (-320°F) for liquid nitrogen or even lower for liquid helium. Ensure the seal mate...
Packer element is a rubber sealing product used in oil and gas field stratified production, testing, water injection, acidification, fracturing and other operations. The following is a description of packer element: Product types: Single cartridge packer element: simple structure, consisting of a single rubber element and metal parts, suitable for some shallow Wells or simple working conditions wi...
