Depending on the application and the designof the seal, the material used may be nitrile, polyacrylate, fluoroelastomer(Viton), silicone, nylon or TeflonÂ¨. Nitrile is one of theleast expensive materials, and has been used for many years inumbrella or deflector type seals for older pushrod engines.
Mineral wool is generally the material of choice. Sealing the pressure vessel is another issue for large autoclaves. Either the inflatable seal or the lip seal is used. The inflatable seal expands and seals against the door flange whereas the lip seal deforms and presses against the door flange to seal the pressure.
