RESEARCH INSTITUTE



LABORATORY of Sealing Systems

In the lab research will be conducted in the field of sealing elements and working fluids:

a. - research on influences and compatibility between the application and technical possibilities of sealing elements, relationships between profiles, seats, fluids, working speed, material, roughness, pressure, temperature, etc.
b. - research on the use of novel sealing materials, new sealing profiles, sealing under conditions imposed by non-typical parameters ( pressure, working speed, non-standardized size), sealing without contact, sealing with magnetic fluids
c. - research on development of sealing required by European environmental standards and solutions for environmental action systems in the event of damage (e.g. devices that notify the loss of fluid in the system through changes in flow or pressure and enable operation only for the machine's displacement and direction parts in order to reach the workshop).
d. - research on development of new working fluids with required properties (hardly inflammable, biodegradable)
e.- activities for harmonization with European standards
f. - research on the influence of working fluids upon the environment (soil, plants, animals)
