内容简介：
This volume presents the edited "Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Fluid Sealing held in Brugge, 7-9 April, 1992. The overall theme of the contributions is the improvement of sealing reliability and effectiveness. Emission control is a critical function in plant, equipment, machinery and transportation systems. Increasingly it is becoming the focus of legislation to control environmental contamination. Engineering managers should therefore become fully conversant with the latest technology for ensuring seal reliability. The contributions collated in ths volume describe developments and insight into the application of the best available seal-technology. The papers are arranged in the main categories of lip seals, statis seals, mechanical seal research, mechanical seal application and performance, mechanical seal qualification, value emissions and clearance seals, materials and thermal science, fluid power and packings. The book is intended for use by mechanical, production, civil and safety engineers.
