It comprises a first member with a plate attached and substantially covering at least one portion of a second member (20), both members being rotatable relative to each other and defining a tortuous way, and it further comprises a brush sealing attached to the first member and resting on a siding plate in the second member such that an inner gap formed between said first and second members is sealed. A flexible member may be provided between the brush sealing and the first member for joining them in a flexible way.

Piston ring having an endless base ring and sealing ring have a radially outwardly directed base ring face side. The sealing ring has a radially inwardly directed, circularly running sealing ring inner side with three tangential cuts separating three sealing ring segments are arranged in a circumferential direction (U). The base and sealing rings are arranged in succession in a longitudinal direction (L). A top ring is arranged to adjoin the sealing ring having a top ring has a radially outwardly directed top ring outer side and a radially inwardly directed top ring inner side. The top ring has, on the side opposite the sealing ring, a radially running return flow channel extending radially, the sealing face side protrudes in a radial direction beyond the top ring outer side and the base ring face side. The base and the top rings have a greater tensile strength than the sealing ring.

The present technology is generally directed to vent stack lids and associated systems and methods. In particular, several embodiments are directed to vent stack lids having improved sealing properties in a coke processing system. In a particular embodiment, a vent stack lid comprises a first lid portion proximate to and at least partially spaced apart from a second lid portion. The vent stack lid further comprises a first sealing portion coupled to the first lid portion and a second sealing portion coupled to the second lid portion. In several embodiments, the second sealing portion at least partially overlaps the first sealing portion over the space between the first and second lid portions. In further embodiments, at least one of the first or second sealing portions includes layers of tadpole seals, spring seals, rigid refractory material, and/or flexible refractory blanket.

The invention relates to a ring seal which comprises a main body capable of implementing a seal by static contact relative to a first cylindrical element, and a first circumferential lip capable of engaging by friction with a cylindrical surface of a second cylindrical element, said cylindrical elements being substantially coaxial and mounted so as to pivot relative to one another. The main body comprises a front surface configured to be in axial contact with a front surface of the first cylindrical element, the main body comprising a second circumferential lip radially opposite the first circumferential lip and capable of being in radial contact with a cylindrical surface of the first cylindrical element.

The piston ring unit includes a plurality of piston rings and an inner contact ring. A plurality of piston rings are disposed adjacent to each other in an axial direction of the piston such that joints of plurality of the piston rings do not overlap with each other in the axial direction. An inner contact ring is interposed between an outer circumferential surface of the piston and an inner circumferential surface of the piston ring in a state where the inner contact ring extends over all of the plurality of piston rings in the axial direction, and is disposed such that an opening of the inner contact ring does not overlap with the joint of the at least one piston ring as viewed in a radial direction of the piston.

A seal assembly in an apparatus including a housing, a housing bore defined by the housing, a shaft extending through the housing bore, and a shaft bore defined by the shaft. The housing bore includes an annular seal chamber between the housing and the shaft. The seal assembly includes a flexible tubular seal surrounding the shaft within the seal chamber. The tubular seal has a shaft end sealingly connected with the shaft and a housing end sealingly connected with the housing. The tubular seal divides the seal chamber into an interior seal chamber which is sealed from an exterior of the housing and an exterior seal chamber which is sealed from an interior space of the housing. At least one seal pressure balancing port is defined by the shaft and extends between the shaft bore and the exterior seal chamber.

A combination seal connects a filter or an equipment component to a base. The combination seal includes a seal material and flecks or particles made of intumescent material interspersed within the seal material. The flecks or particles of intumescent material undergo a chemical change when exposed to flames or heat and expand to maintain seal effectiveness and longevity without compromise.

A downhole tool body includes an outer surface having at least one O-ring gland. The at least one O-ring gland includes a first contour having a first radius greater than about 0.035″ (R0.89 mm) and a second contour having a second radius greater than about 0.035″ (R0.89 mm). A backup ring is arranged in the O-ring gland. The backup ring includes a gland contour having a radius that is complimentary to the first radius.

A seal packing assembly for a hydraulic pump includes a plurality of annular dynamic seals disposed within annular grooves circumferentially defined in the annular bore, a packing gland circumferentially housing a section of the plunger, and a plurality of seal manifolds distributed and defined within the packing gland, each seal manifold defining a port at one end exposed to the pumping fluid and further defining a clean lubrication fluid inlet proximate to a second end, the fluid inlet coupled to a lube pump via a check valve, where the clean lubrication fluid housed in the seal manifolds is maintained at a constant pressure. Each seal manifold includes a piston disposed within the seal manifold having a first end configured with a first surface area to interface with the pumping fluid and a second end configured with a second surface area to interface with the clean lubrication fluid, and a fluid port configured to provide fluid communication between the seal manifold and the annular grooves of the annular dynamic seals.
