HLG550 spring reinforced metal sealing ring
Structure and principle
The spring-strengthened metal sealing ring is composed of an outer layer of soft coating material or coating, an inner liner made of metal material, and a wrapped spiral close-wound spring. When the sealing ring is locked and compressed, the elastic force of the spiral spring acts on the inner lining to fit the flange sealing surface, and the soft material or coating layer covered by the outer layer fills up the roughness of the flange surface and prevents the leakage channel between the end surfaces. Produce, and finally achieve an excellent sealing effect.

use pressure
Determine the working pressure of the sealing ring according to the C-shaped opening direction of the spring-strengthened metal sealing ring. When the C-shaped opening faces the pressure direction, a self-tightening sealing effect can be achieved, and the pressure that can be withstood can also be greatly increased. However, when choosing whether the C-shaped opening faces the pressure direction, the choice of medium type and coil spring material should be considered.

Performance curve
After the installed spring-reinforced metal sealing ring reaches the set compression amount, it can maintain a certain rebound during the working process. This compensation performance ensures that the sealing surface can always fit during the temperature and pressure changes. . For the convenience of installation, the spring-reinforced metal sealing ring works under the condition of a limited position, which also avoids uneven force, excessive compression or insufficient compression.
The diagram shows the relationship between the load and leakage when the spring-strengthened metal seal is compressed and decompressed. It is mainly composed of two curves, one is the compression curve and the other is the decompression curve.
The inherent ability of the sealing ring
A characteristic of spring-strengthened metal sealing ring is called inherent ability, which reflects its ability to balance internal pressure and relaxation through its own elasticity at a given temperature. The characteristic symbol is represented by Pu, and the unit is N/mm². The figure below reflects the influence of temperature on Pu. In the figure, Pu and Put respectively represent the Pu values at 20°C and operating temperature T, and the following table lists these inherent capacity values of spring-strengthened metal sealing rings. ...
...
According to the value in the table, the compressive load Wm2=W₂XP/Pᵤ, N/mm required for the seal ring to seal the internal pressure at room temperature can be obtained; where P is the operating pressure or test pressure; then the seal is sealed at the operating temperature The compressive load on the unit seal length required by the internal pressure Wm2T=W₂XP/Put. N/mm; and the P/Pᵤ or P/PUT<1 in the formula. Therefore, the material and the thickness of the sealing ring can be adjusted according to the pressure and temperature during the design. Make a match.
