ABSTRACT

The article presents data on the analysis of a gradual or sudden loss of performance of seals under the influence of various factors during operation. Numerous factors significantly reduce the performance of seals and impair the sealing effect. Considering that the seal is a highly elastic material due to its elastomeric nature, the mechanical stress created in the sealed assembly will change over time. In other words, when a force is applied, the balance of the rubber seal changes. When determining the durability of seals, it is necessary to take into account the temperature, time and activity of the medium being sealed, which are operational factors.

Keywords: sealant, design, elastic material, relaxation, durability.
