EXPLANATORY NOTE

These bonded seals can be used in place of copper washers as specified in IS : 3175-l 974
‘Specification for sealing washers for pipe unions ( first revision )’ or aluminium washers up to a
pressure of 40 MPa. These seals can take more flexibility.

Bonded seals are essentially face seals and are designed for sealing on internal diameter.
Where the connection is made, the initial action is to deflect the rubber lips, the tightening and
bursting loads being resisted by the steel ring. It is intended to seal stud couplings, screwed
plugs, banjos belt heads of flanges, etc. However, it is not intended to prevent the oil from passing
up the screw thread of a stud and nut fixing, in which case, a cap or domed nut is used. Typical
applications of bonded seals are illustrated below.
