Seal (mechanical)

A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms, or materials together to contain pressure, prevent leakage of fluid, or exclude contamination. The effectiveness of a seal depends on compression in the case of gaskets and adhesion in the case of sealants. Seals are installed in pumps in a wide range of industries including chemicals, water supply, paper production, food processing, and many other applications.
