Basic information :
 
The Spring Energized PTFE Seal is a spring- energized, pressure-assisted sealing device consisting of a PTFE (or other polymer) seal partially encapsulating a corrosion-resistant metal spring energizer.
The PTFE jackets are precisely machined, filled with PTFE composites and other high performance polymers, function at temperatures ranging from cryogenic to 250 C and inert to almost all chemicals. Some types also can be used in sanitary environment.

Seals are available with a variety of spring energizers, each having characteristics to meet specific requirements. Spring loading can be adjusted to meet critical low or extremely high requirements in dynamic applications.

They are chosen when higher resistance to chemical media is required, if the ptfe valve seals is required to operate in extremes of temperature and where good extrusion and compression characteristics are needed.

 main design characteristics:
1. Application specific U-shaped seal profile

2. Spring geometry suited to the particular application

3. Proven high-performance ptfe valve seals polymers Standard products are available from 2 mm up to 2500 mm (8' 2") in diameter along with custom manufactured intermediate sizes, inch (imperial) sizes or special Geometries.
  
 Performance :

The different types of PTFE valve seals combined with the properties of  PTFE valve seals materials offer design engineers a wide range of solutions to a large number of applications.

The most important characteristics of PTFE valve seals are listed below:

Very low coefficient of friction

Good dynamic and static sealing

Capable of sealing at high speeds up to 15 m/s (49 ft/sec)

Almost universal chemical compatibility

Operating temperature of -253 °C up to +300 °C (423 °F to 572 °F)

Very good thermal resistance

Permanent elasticity unaffected by contact with chemicals

Good ageing characteristics

Low compression set

Capable of withstanding high pressures above 200MPa (2000 bar, 29000 psi) when using B ack-up Rings
