SEALING STRUCTURE FOR CASING
The present invention has an object of providing a sealing structure for a casing that suppresses the deformation of a center plate of a laminated gasket on a partition wall and ensures the compression amount of a bead on the partition wall, without the center plate being thickened. The object is achieved by a sealing structure including: a case 2, the interior of which is partitioned by a partition wall 25 into an upstream chamber 23 and a downstream chamber 24; a cover 3, which forms a flow path for a fluid that causes the upstream chamber 23 and the downstream chamber 24 to be communicated inside; and a laminated gasket 4, in which a first gasket 41, a center plate 43, and a second gasket 42 are laminated, and that is provided between a butting surface 22a of the case 2 and a butting surface 32a of the cover 3, in which the first gasket 41 and the second gasket 42 respectively include beads 41b and 42b along the butting surfaces 22a and 32a, and the first gasket 41 and the center plate 43 respectively include partition-wall sealing portions 41a and 43a along the partition wall 25, the partition-wall sealing portion 41a of the first gasket 41 includes the beads 41b, and the cover 3 is provided with a contact portion 34 that applies a contact force to the partition-wall sealing portion 43a of the center plate 43.

TURBINE SEAL REPAIR PATCH AND METHODS OF REPAIRING TURBINE SEALS
A repair patch for use with a turbine seal includes a shim having a first side and an opposite second side and a cloth seal having a first section and a second section. The cloth seal is coupled to the shim, such that the cloth seal is folded over a radial edge of the shim such that the first section substantially covers the first side and the second section substantially covers the second side. The second section includes an extension section that extends from the second side such that at least a portion of the cloth seal overlaps at least a portion of the turbine seal when coupled thereto.
SEALING DEVICE FOR A WHEEL HUB UNIT
Sealing device for a wheel hub unit is disclosed herein, wherein the sealing device being able, during use, to form a static seal for protecting the wheel hub unit from any environmental pollutant and being provided with a screen, which is engaged with a collar of the wheel hub unit and has a bottom wall, a cylindrical side wall integral with and more or less perpendicular to the bottom wall. The sealing device is designed and structured to protect the wheel hub unit from any environmental contaminant that the wheel hub unit may be exposed to during usage.
METAL SEAL COMPRISING A TEXTURED OUTER SEALING LAYER
A static metal seal comprising an outer sealing layer, wherein the outer sealing layer comprises a textured surface that is configured to come into contact with the surfaces that are to be sealed, the textured surface comprising a network of depressions spaced apart from one another on the textured surface, wherein the depressions are blind, do not pass all the way through the outer sealing layer, and do not communicate with one another.
Annular sealing device
An annular seal comprising a metallic ring having a cross section. The cross section includes an axially extending body portion having a radial width and an axial height. A spaced apart pair of sealing arms extend axially from the body portion, wherein each sealing arm includes a radially opposed arcuate sealing surface. The arcuate sealing surface may be convex, for example. The spaced apart pair of sealing arms are spaced apart a radial distance greater than the radial width of the body portion. A sealing system comprises a plurality of interconnected metallic rings wherein the body portion engages the sealing arms of an adjacent metallic ring.

Bidirectionally testable seal configuration
A seal assembly made up of multiple opposite oriented unidirectional seals. The assembly includes a dedicated test port for each of the unidirectional seals. Thus, a first test port may be directed at the first seal such that if the first seal leaks, the second seal is configured to collapse and allow a second test port coupled thereto to detect the leak of the first seal. By the same token, the first test port may be used to detect any leak in the second seal which is detectable as the first seal collapses as a result of the leak. This unique type of architecture allows for a reliable manner of testing a multiple seal assembly that may be prone to leaks from multiple directions, for example from either a bore or an annular side of a tubular. This renders the bidirectionally testable seal configuration beneficial for incorporation into downhole completions hardware such at the location of a test gauge secured to a carrier device.
GASKET FOR SEALING A DRIVE SHAFT OF A PULP WASHER
The present invention relates to a gasket (1, 1′, 1″) for sealing a drive shaft of a pulp washer, the gasket comprising a gasket body (10) having a central opening delimited by an inner edge (21) and the gasket body (10) also having an outer edge (22), wherein the gasket (10) further comprises a cut-in portion (30) that extends from the outer edge (22) in a radial direction inwards into the gasket body (10).
The invention also relates to a pulp washer comprising at least one such gasket and to a method for mounting such a gasket on a drive shaft of a pulp washer.
METAL-TO-METAL WELL EQUIPMENT SEAL
A metal-to-metal sealing system is described for forming a pressure-activated connection between two pieces of equipment under HPHT (high pressure high temperature) conditions which will degrade elastomers. The roughly cylindrical seal comprises four sealing surfaces, two sealing surfaces formed by the circular longitudinal edge, and two sealing surfaces formed by either side of a bulge located halfway along the outer diameter. These surfaces correspond with sealing surfaces on the pieces of equipment to be joined. These pieces of equipment also utilize testing ports in fluid communication with the seal in order to ensure a secure connection.
