The desire to move to sustainable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions is growing exponentially. Low-cost renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, hydro) are being developed and deployed worldwide.
There have been advancements in the research and development of clean energy sources. Hydrogen has been identified as a potential green energy source.
As the world shifts its focus to decarbonization initiatives, research shows responsible leaders will pour more technology and infrastructure into the hydrogen production economy to provide clean, carbon-free energy storage.
The HELICOFLEX® seal is a high performance, flexible metal seal that has exceptional compression and elastic recovery properties. This seal is composed of a close wound helical spring surrounded by one or more metal jackets. The spring is designed to have a specific compression resistance. During compression, the resulting specific pressure forces the jacket to yield and fill the flange imperfections while ensuring positive contact with the flange sealing faces. Each coil of the helical spring acts independently and allows the seal to conform to surface irregularities on the flange surface.
HELICOFLEX® design flexibility allows Technetics engineers to customize the seal characteristics to match each unique application.
The ORIGRAF® seal provides a lasting high-performance sealing solution for all industries. It can be specifically designed for extreme thermal & pressure cycles ensuring higher safety in operation while optimizing total cost of ownership.
Unlike flexible graphite cut gaskets, the compression of the ORIGRAF® die-formed seal is limited by a mechanical stop: groove or inner and/or outer ring. In the case of assemblies subject to extreme pressure and/or temperature this design prevents excessive seating stress on the seal during transients.
This reliable and sustainable solution allows the optimization of overall operating costs, increasing the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).
ORIGRAF® seals are mainly used in applications servicing the following industries:
The range of applications can be extensive, including:
