Application
Airtight sealing for military and defence equipment
Military equipment is the manufacturer’s leading published application for its airtight range. These assemblies are opened and closed repeatedly and have to hold their seal under pressure, which is why the resin and circular builds are rated IPX8 and tested to 60 kPa.
Sealing requirements
What military & defence equipment calls for
These are the criteria the manufacturer publishes for this kind of assembly. Confirm your own figures against the agreed test conditions.
- Repeated open/close — the published durability figure is 3,000+ cycles
- Pressure sealing — reference test at 60 kPa on resin and circular builds
- Continuous immersion tolerance — IPX8 on the resin, self-healing and circular products
- Sealing pressure confirmed against your own project test conditions
