The Helicoflex seal represents the
leading edge in seal technology for high performance sealing applications.
Today’s extreme sealing requirements have rendered traditional seals
& gaskets obsolete. If you can’t afford the lost time associated
with leaks, put your trust in the leader: Helicoflex
Concept
The sealing principle of the Helicoflex family of seals is based
upon the plastic deformation of a jacket of greater ductility
than the flange materials. This occurs between the sealing face
of a flange and an elastic core composed of a close-wound helical
spring. The spring is selected 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. This combination of elasticity and plasticity
makes the Helicoflex seal the best overall performing seal in
the industry.
