✦ Synopsis

Advanced Materials and Technology, USA Rather than simply selecting materials based on their composition, functional performance testing is required to select seal materials for blister-prone applications. This was the most important result when 24 commercially available seal carbons, representing many different combinations of base materials and impregnants, were tested under identical conditions in an attempt to determine how material type effects carbon blistering.
