DEVELOPMENT OF A TRIBOLOGICAL TESTING METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING FRICTION AND WEAR RELATED PROPERTIES OF TPU SEALING MATERIALS

Abstract:
Mechanical seal performance critically depends on the tribological performance of the sealing material. Former research work clearly indicates that the in service behaviour of TPU seals is associated with the sliding velocity (v) and the contact pressure (p), hence a compelling testing process to determine and compare the friction and wear related properties based on pvvariations is of outermost importance. This paper chronicles an implementation approach for the development of a testing methodology capable to declare the p-v-dependency on the tribological performance.
