Well, it&#8217;s when there\u2019s a sealing face positioned on each side of the shaft. This array adds redundancy and reliability in applications where fluid leakage is unacceptable or hazardous. Moreover, a double seal is also a go-to-choice when the design clearly needs the prevention of contamination.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Double seals can operate in tandem mode (both seals share the same pressure) or buffer mode (the inner seal has a higher pressure than the outer seal). In addition, the use of a primary and secondary seal further increases the tightness and safety of the valve, regardless of whether they are static or dynamic. The material combination allows the positive properties of both to better serve their purpose.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>A good example of a double sealing system is the combination of an O-ring (primary seal) and a graphite packing (secondary seal). In case of fire, the O-ring would be damaged by the heat, but the graphite is heat resistant and ensures tightness in this case. Under normal conditions and temperatures, the O-ring (with much smaller dimensions) would provide additional sealing for the application, with a secondary seal material.\u00a0<\/p><p>If your application relies heavily on double sealing, I have great news for you. The latest developments are reducing their necessity based on the results of tightness tests run according to ISO FE class AH for graphite packing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>What does it mean for your design? It means, that additional O-rings on the valve head units are no longer necessary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7578cc9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7578cc9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d3eaf6\" data-id=\"1d3eaf6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c5c12e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1c5c12e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">High pressure and sealing<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e6ce80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e6ce80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>High pressure and sealing can have both positive and negative effects on sealing performance.<\/p><p><strong>On the positive side:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a77be0 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"0a77be0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Increasing pressure enhances sealing in two key ways.
