Energy-absorbing springs made with VICTREX~R PEEK~(TM)polymer meet the extreme demands of the oil and gas industry

摘要

Aberdeen,UK-VICTREX~R PEEK~(TM),the high-performance polymer manufactured by Victrex plc,with its unique combination of high and low temperature resistance,inherent strength,and chemical resistance,has become the material of choice for the manufacture of seal and backup rings in the oil and gas industry.However,the weakness of seals has always been the necessary addition of the metallic energy absorber,which in extreme circumstances,if the seal wears,can come in contact with and irreparably damage the shaft.
