A sealing component, typically made from cellulose-based material, is employed within valve assemblies to create a static seal between mating surfaces. These components are designed to prevent leakage of fluids or gases. The features that define these sealing elements include dimensions, material composition, thickness, and pressure resistance capabilities. Selecting the appropriate features is crucial for effective and reliable valve operation.
Properly specified sealing solutions contribute significantly to operational efficiency by preventing loss of process fluids and ensuring system integrity. Historically, these components have been a cost-effective and readily available option for lower-pressure applications. Their simplicity and ease of installation have made them a common choice in various industries.
