Enhancing Performance and Safety of Static Radial Seals
O-ring and back-up ring combinations have long been the standard for static applications requiring high-pressure sealing. However, real-world applications often expose limitations, including installation challenges and performance issues. Standard O-rings may twist during installation, while back-up rings can be incorrectly positioned or damaged. These issues are further compounded by exposure to pulsating pressures and contaminants,

Metal Seal Design Guide
Gallagher Fluid Seals is an authorized distributor and Seal Technology Center (STC) for Parker Hannifin.
What is a metal seal?
A metal seal is typically used when the conditions for a polymer or elastomer are inadequate for a sealing device; extreme heat, extreme cold, extreme pressure, or a vacuum.. With significant resilience coupled with the right material selection/coating for an application, a metal seal can be a very durable seal
