Other
In addition to O rings, static sealing requirements may call for other seal formats depending on joint design, pressure, media, installation space, and performance requirements. These can include custom profiles, gaskets, backup-supported sealing arrangements, and application-specific static sealing components used between stationary faces.
The right static seal design depends on how the joint is assembled, how compression is controlled, and what operating conditions the equipment must withstand. 3D Seals provide a prolific series of customized Static Seals of varying profiles and materials combinations to meet any thermal, mechanical and physical properties for different applications. These are available for various special applications and maintenance needs

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the application, static sealing can also involve gaskets, custom profiles, and other non-moving sealing elements used between fixed surfaces.
It is often needed when the joint geometry, pressure, media, or installation conditions make a standard O ring unsuitable.
Yes, custom static sealing solutions are common where equipment design or operating conditions require a tailored sealing arrangement.
Joint design, compression, material compatibility, temperature, pressure, and media exposure are all important.
