Improved Mechanical Seals For Tubes
Abstract
Improved tube-to-fitting seals made by application of soft metal pieces to either ends of tubes or to interior of fittings. Metal silver, gold, platinum, tin, or other easily malleable metal selected to be inert with fluid of use. Metal plated, evaporated, or sputter-deposited. Coat of soft metal thin, so no changes required in design or tolerances of standard fittings. Technique suitable for hydraulic or other fluid systems in which leakage from mechanically joined sections of tubes occur.
