The Magnetic Field

Magnetic fluid seals belong to the class of non-contact seals. They are used as protective seals for vacuum systems, high speed shafts, precision mechanics, and electromechanical devices. The proper functioning of the magnetic fluid seal is related to creating and maintaining the continuity of the fluid ring on the sealing stage. This is achieved by appropriately shaped magnetic field distribution in the region of the sealing stage. Consequently, one of the main issues with the construction of such seals is to determine the distribution of the magnetic field in this region. This paper presents the results of analytical calculations and numerical simulations, based on which the influence of selected geometric parameters on the critical pressure and motion resistance was determined.

New Applications

Purpose – The purpose of this publication is to determine the influence of selected factors on the durability and the tightness of ferrofluid seals working in water environments. Ferromagnetic fluid (FF) seals are one of the most common applications of magnetic fluid. New applications can be developed by extending the capabilities of these seals in fluid environments, especially in water. Design/methodology/approach – Tests were performed using ferrofluids with differing physical properties like density, dynamic viscosity and saturation magnetization. Working conditions, such as water pressure and peripheral speed, were taken into account. Findings – A mathematical description which allows the selection of an appropriate ferrofluid and the determination of the operating parameters of an FF seal was developed. Originality/value – This study concerns the influence of peripheral speed, water pressure and magnetic fluid properties on seal tightness.

Abstract There are currently no industry accepted methods for calculating sealing effectiveness of flange connections at the research and development phase of a project. As there are many different designs of bolted piping connectors being widely used in the oil and gas industry, operators and regulators could benefit greatly from a more accurate comparison and estimate of expected flange tightness level, based on design calculations only. This paper will propose a new methodology for sealing effectiveness estimation of bolted connections based on leak rate calculations. The methodology will combine practical simplicity and advance theory to get a simple but effective engineering/designing tool to assess the seal tightness. A new proposed method will be based on the contact stress pattern (FEA results), material properties (code specification) and surface finish/roughness (manufacture requirements) as inputs and leak rate estimation as an output. The Representative Surface Element concept will be introduced and presented. In this paper, the general methodology principles will be presented and followed by an engineering example.
