- Overall, rubber flange gaskets are a reliable and versatile sealing solution that offers numerous benefits for industrial applications. Their flexibility, durability, ease of installation, and material options make them an ideal choice for ensuring a leak-free and efficient operation.
- The material selection for these seals is meticulous, prioritizing resistance to wear, temperature fluctuations, and chemical degradation. They must withstand the vagaries of their operating conditions, whether subzero temperatures or scorching heat, without compromising their integrity. Moreover, the double lip oil seal's design allows for some degree of self-lubrication, further enhancing its durability and reducing friction during operation Moreover, the double lip oil seal's design allows for some degree of self-lubrication, further enhancing its durability and reducing friction during operation

Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.
From this kind of standard immersion testing, one would expect that bisphenol-cured VDF/HFP/TFE fluoroelastomers would not give good service life as oil seals. Similar tests with other elastomers, such as HNBR, silicone, and acrylic rubbers, show less loss of elongation. However, it is found that, in actual service, FKM shaft seals6 have much longer service life than seals of the other elastomers. In a Japanese study of FKM lip seals, rear crankshaft seals from high-mileage automobiles (70,000–280,000 mi ie, 110,000–450,000 km) were collected and examined. No serious oil leakage was found when the seals were removed from the engines. Some deposits were found around the seal lip and on the garter spring holding the lip against the shaft. No surface cracks were found on the seal lip, and only minor crazing on the crankcase side of the flexure portion of the seal in some samples. The seal compositions were not noted, but most were probably VDF/HFP/TFE elastomers with 68–69% fluorine content.
