Topografía de la superficie de los anillos de sellado: ¿Qué significa realmente Ra 0,04–0,05 μm?

In mechanical seals, the surface topography of sealing rings directly affects leakage control, lubrication retention, and wear resistance. An Ra value between 0.04–0.05 μm is often specified for high-performance applications, but many decision-makers may wonder what this number truly represents and why it matters. This article explains Ra 0.04–0.05 μm in simple terms, its impact […]

Cómo lograr acabados de espejo en anillos de sello de carburo: Ventanas de proceso y dificultades

Carbide seal rings are critical components in pumps, compressors, and valves for industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and marine systems. Achieving a mirror-level finish on these rings ensures leakage control, low friction, and long equipment life. However, achieving a perfect mirror finish is not easy. It requires strict process windows, […]

Acabados ultrasuaves vs. microbolseados: Retención de lubricación en caras de carburo

In mechanical seals, the surface finish of carbide faces affects not only leakage control but also lubrication retention. Two popular finishing approaches—ultra-smooth finishes and micro-pocketed finishes—offer different advantages depending on the operating conditions. For decision-makers in industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, marine systems, and power generation, understanding these finishes helps improve seal performance, […]

Anillos de acondicionamiento, selección de placas y control de lodo para el lapeado de caras de carburo

In mechanical seal manufacturing and maintenance, carbide face lapping is a crucial finishing process. Proper lapping ensures surface flatness, low roughness (Ra), and tight sealing performance. Three key factors—conditioning rings, lapping plate selection, and slurry control—determine the quality and repeatability of the finish. This guide explains how these elements affect carbide face lapping and provides […]

Ra objetivo y planitud para caras de sellos de carburo: prácticas recomendadas de lapeado y pulido

Carbide seal faces are critical for pumps, compressors, and valves in industries like oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment. The surface roughness (Ra) and flatness of these seal faces directly affect leakage control, wear resistance, and equipment reliability. Lapping and polishing are two essential finishing processes that define the final Ra […]
