Technical Advantages of Sonkit Metal Ring Seals

High-Temperature and High-Pressure Resistance

Sonkit metal seals are designed to perform in extreme conditions. They can operate at temperatures up to 650°C and withstand pressures up to 200 MPa. This makes them ideal for the harsh environments typically found in the pump and valve industry.

The seals are made from high-performance alloys such as Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750, known for their exceptional resistance to oxidation and structural integrity at elevated temperatures. This material choice ensures that Sonkit seals remain reliable over long periods, even under the most demanding conditions.

Metal seals are engineered for long-term performance. Their robust construction and high-quality materials mean they can last significantly longer than traditional seals, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing downtime.

• Durability: Metal seals have a lifespan up to three times longer than standard seals in high-pressure applications.
• Leak Prevention: With a leak rate of less than 1E-9 mbar·l/s, Sonkit seals ensure minimal loss of fluids, which is critical in maintaining system efficiency.
• Temperature Stability: Sonkit seals maintain their integrity and performance in temperatures ranging from -270°C to +650°C.

Conclusion

Metal ring seals play a critical role in the pump and valve industry, offering reliable and durable sealing solutions for extreme environments. Their ability to withstand high temperatures, pressures, and corrosive conditions makes them an ideal choice for applications in petroleum exploration, mining, offshore platforms, and the petrochemical industry. 

As the demand for more robust and efficient sealing solutions continues to grow, Sonkit remains committed to providing cutting-edge products that meet the evolving needs of the industry.
