Spring Energized Seal Guide

Spring Energized Seals are designed for applications with high pressures and temperatures, cryogenic fluids, extreme media and other service conditions which exceed the performance characteristics of O-rings and conventional elastomeric seals. 

We introduced our Spring Energized Seal guide in 2016 are we're happy to share that it's now available for FREE to download.

When elastomeric seals fail – whether due to chemical attack, extreme temperatures, extrusion or other causes – spring energized PTFE seals perform reliably.

We think you’ll read this 28-page guide and come away with useful information on these unique sealing solutions. Inside, you’ll find:

  • A basic guide to spring energized seals and an exploration of their different types.
  • Material considerations.
  • A look at rod and piston seals and face seals.

If you find it useful, be sure to explore our other publications, including Gallagher’s O-Ring Design Guide and PTFE Rotary Lip Seal Guide.
