V-Packing and Seal Design
Hi all,
I just recently started an internship. To make a long story short, they've tasked me to investigate the leaking of a hydraulic cyclinder that is sealed via a V-Packings. Although I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering, we never really discussed seals and the design process in class.
So my questions are three fold.
1. What references or equations would be relevant for my analysis? What parameters are relevant?
2. How does one typically determine which gasket or seal to use?
3. How would you tackle this problem?
Thanks :)
