Engineering context
Reliable sealing begins with the full operating envelope: media, pressure, temperature, movement, surface finish, and the expected maintenance interval. A compound that performs well in one condition can fail quickly when these variables interact.
What to validate
Confirm compatibility with the actual fluid, review compression set at sustained temperature, and verify dimensional tolerances on the installed hardware. Production validation should use representative parts and agreed inspection criteria.
