Fifth Edition
By
Robert Flitney
Description
Wherever machinery operates there will be seals of some kind ensuring that the machine remains lubricated, the fluid being pumped does
not leak, or the gas does not enter the atmosphere. Seals are ubiquitous, in industry, the home, transport and many other places. This
5th edition of a long-established title covers all types of seal by application: static, rotary, reciprocating etc. The book bears little
resemblance to its predecessors, and Robert Flitney has re-planned and re-written every aspect of the subject. No engineer, designer
or manufacturer of seals can afford to be without this unique resource.
