HIGH TEMPERATURE FACE SEALS OF TUBES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183025 titled 'HIGH TEMPERATURE FACE SEALS OF TUBES
The abstract of the patent application describes an assembly consisting of two tubes with smooth, planar surfaces at their ends, along with a force mechanism to maintain contact between the surfaces to form a hermetic seal during temperature cycling.
- The assembly includes two tubes with smooth, planar surfaces.
- A force mechanism is used to apply pressure to maintain contact between the surfaces.
- The surfaces are designed to create a hermetic seal during temperature changes.
- The force applied is perpendicular to the surfaces.
- The purpose is to ensure a tight seal even when exposed to varying temperatures.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the aerospace industry for sealing components in extreme temperature environments. - It could also be applied in the automotive industry for sealing critical parts in engines or exhaust systems.
Problems Solved: - Ensures a tight seal between components during temperature cycling. - Prevents leaks or contamination in sensitive systems.
Benefits: - Improved reliability and performance in harsh environments. - Reduced maintenance and repair costs due to fewer leaks or failures.
Commercial Applications: Title: Hermetic Sealing Technology for Extreme Environments This technology could be valuable for manufacturers of aerospace components, automotive parts, and industrial machinery where reliable sealing is crucial for performance and safety.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to hermetic sealing technologies in the fields of aerospace engineering, automotive manufacturing, and industrial sealing solutions.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly exploring new materials and designs for hermetic sealing technologies to improve performance and durability in extreme environments.
Questions about Hermetic Sealing Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional sealing methods in terms of reliability? - This technology offers a more reliable and consistent seal, especially in extreme temperature conditions. 2. What are the potential cost savings for industries adopting this hermetic sealing technology? - Industries could see reduced maintenance costs and downtime, leading to overall cost savings in the long run.
Original Abstract Submitted
An assembly includes a first tube defining a first smooth, planar surface at an end of the first tube. The assembly includes a second tube defining a second smooth, planar surface at an end of the second tube. The assembly includes a force mechanism configured to apply a force to at least one of the first tube or the second tube to maintain contact between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface and the second surface are configured to interface to form a substantially hermetic seal when the assembly is cycled through a temperature cycle. The force is substantially normal to the first and second surfaces.
