Toluene, together with amine-based inhibitors.
Chemraz offers benefits ideally suited for a variety
of applications, from subsurface safety valves,
packers and geothermal applications to logging
tools, wireline tools and drillstem test tools. In
addition, special compounds can be formulated
for improved resistance to rapid gas decompression
and abrasion to give significant reductions in
downtime and maintenance.

Chemraz has the broadest chemical resistance


of any elastomeric material. It combines the
resilience and sealing force of an elastomer with
chemical resistance approaching that of PTFE.
Chemraz is formulated to give excellent sealing
performance when exposed to mixes of aggressive
chemicals found downhole. Operators in numerous
fields have specified Chemraz because of its outstanding sealing performance in hostile environments.
Compounds are compatible with all well fluids
and gases, injection and treatment chemicals,
including reservoir fluids with high H2S content,

Perfluoroelastomer
THE ULTIMATE ELASTOMER
Chemraz is a member of the perfluoroelastomer polymer
familypolymers of three or more monomers in which all
hydrogen positions have been replaced with fluorine. This complete
state of fluorination results in outstanding resistance to heat
and most chemicals and solvents. The principle monomer of

Chemraz is tetrafluoroethylene (TFE); the proprietary second and

p r o d u c t

third perfluorinated monomers are unique to it and confer the


balance of the properties it demonstrates. Chemrazs resistance to
steam and significantly improved low temperature properties are
its hallmark.

Fluoraz withstands high-pressure cycling. It is low


in gas solubility, has a high modulus of elasticity
and high shear tear strength, making it ideal for
withstanding situations where rapid gas decompression can occur. Fluoraz works well in applications from high-temperature pumps and safety
valves to mud and logging equipment.

Fluoraz has been formulated for extreme pressures,


temperatures and sour fluids found in deep-well
drilling. Fluoraz has exceptional high-temperature
performance, 500F (260C) continuous, 554F
(290C) intermittent; excellent resistance to steam,
corrosion inhibitors, acids and H2S; and excellent
resistance to rapid gas decompression.

Fluoraz is formulated to work under the extreme pressures,
temperatures and sour fluids found in deep well drilling. Fluoraz
withstands high-pressure cycling. Because of Fluorazs low gas
solubility, high modulas of elasticity and high shear tear strength,

it resists rapid gas decompression.

A major OEM tested #926 in nitrogen, exposing it to pressure and


thermal cycling. After passing the test, #926 qualified and is now

used where rapid gas decompression conditions exist.

c a s e

A major operator in the U.K. cycled #926 in nitrogen at 200F


(93C), 140 bar, 30 times. Each cycle constituted the material being
pressurized in an autoclave and held for 24 hours before subjected
to instantaneous bleed-down. #926 is now specified where

s t u d y

rapid gas decompression is a concern.

FEATURES
#926 compound is service-proven and cost effective downhole
in Vee Ring, T-ring and O-ring geometries by operators and OEMs
because it maintains excellent sealing performance over the
equipments lifetime.
#926 compound performs well in high-pressure environments,
including Methane, CO2 and H2S and resists rapid gas decompression conditions found downhole.
Temperature range is -20F to 450F (-29C to 232C )

FKM 936
Rapid Gas Decompression Resistant

SEALING SOLUTIONS
Greene, Tweeds FKM 936 is a fluorocarbon elastomer specifically

9 3 6

designed for Rapid Gas Decompression (also known as explosive


decompression) resistance in downhole, surface and subsea oilfield
equipment. RGD (rapid gas decompression) is a phenomenon that

often occurs when high-pressure gas molecules migrate into an elastomer at a compressed state. When the pressure surrounding the elas-

p r o d u c t

tomer is suddenly released, the compressed gas inside the elastomer


tries to expand and exit the elastomer, thus causing RGD. Most elastomers experience severe blistering or cracking when the forces of
these expanding gases overcome the strength of the surrounding
material, but 936 provides superior RGD resistance.

FKM 938
Rapid Gas Decompression Resistant
FKM 938 \ product data

NORSOK & TOTAL QUALIFIED FKM


RGD (rapid gas decompression) is a phenomenon that often occurs
when high-pressure gas molecules migrate into an elastomer at a
compressed state. When the pressure surrounding the elastomer
is suddenly released, the compressed gas inside the elastomer
tries to expand and exit the elastomer, thus causing RGD (also
known as explosive decompression). Greene, Tweeds FKM 938 is
a fluorocarbon elastomer specifically designed to withstand RGD
in compressor components, valves and pumps. Most elastomers
experience severe blistering or cracking when the forces of these
expanding gases overcome the strength of the surrounding
material, but FKM 938 provides superior RGD resistant properties
enabling seal integrity. FKM 938 also offers an improved lower
temperature operating window. Its compression set resistance
provides superior sealing and leak prevention unmatched by the
leading competitive material. In addition, FKM 938 offers much
better resistance to methanol, sour gas, hot water, steam and
corrosion inhibitors than conventional fluorocarbon elastomers,
extending seal lifetime.

Extends the life of refining, pipeline and oilfield equipment


exposed to unanticipated process upsets resulting
in pressure drops
Superior resistance to RGD reduces maintenance and increases
MTBF (mean time between failures)

FEATURES & BENEFITS


FKM 938 has successfully passed the stringent NORSOK M-710
and TotalFinaElf test protocols at third party laboratories

Offers reliable RGD resistance with compression set values that


are much lower than existing material while preventing leakage

ENGINEERED PLASTICS
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Below are some examples of Greene, Tweeds extensive experience of
designing with plastics to optimize performance for weight saving and

Gears
Arlon is ideal for gears because of its high strength combined

in excess of 480F (250C) steam and high-pressure oil/sea water

Connectors

d a t a

due to its thermal or electrical insulation properties and resistance

environments without any significant degradation in properties.


Radome
Arlon replaces hand lay-up glass fiber epoxy and glass-filled polymer,
giving ten times improved life over traditional materials and providing
transparency to radio frequency.
Thrust Washers
PEEK has been chosen for transmission thrust washers used in
Chryslers Viper high-performance sports car. The wear and chemical
resistance, inherent lubricity and strength at elevated temperatures
of PEEK combine to meet requirements in a thermoplastic material
for the transmission thrust washers. Typical Arlon grade for this
application would be Arlon 1555.
Valve PlatesPlates/Seats/Bodies
PEEK valve plates have excellent stress resistance, durability and
fatigue endurance while providing a long life span. PEEK is an
effective metal replacement in extremely harsh environments due
to its superior chemical resistance.

HNBR and NBR.


Pump Components

Valve Plates

PEEK is an ideal stainless steel substitute in impeller wheels,


resulting in significant wear and noise reduction. Stainless steel
requires multiple machine parts whereas only one molded part is
required for PEEK.
WR525 is a thermoplastic composite consisting of carbon fiber in a
PEEK matrix. Because of their unique thermal expansion properties,

Piston Components

WR is most often selected for use as impeller wear rings.


WR also works well in bushing and case wear ring applications. WR
offers the following characteristics metallic wear products do not:

Impact and thermal shock resistance


These benefits enable the pump user to increase pump efficiency
by running tighter wear ring clearances and, at the same time,
decrease potential pump damage during cavitation or with in-line
bearing failures.
Missile Fins
PEEK replaces aluminum in harpoon missile guidance fin. The
benefits of PEEK in this application include weight savings, cost
savings (in large numbers), more responsive in flight, control
and predicable mass.
Threaded Fasteners
PEEK is ideal for threaded fasteners due to its resistance to a wide
range of inorganic and organic materials. Fasteners are extremely

PEEK 30 percent glass-filled polymer works well as a replacement


for aluminum in ammunition chutes. PEEK delivers weight savings,
additional strength and durability and significant cost savings.
Sensor Housing
PEEK adds an excellent balance of chemical, mechanical and thermal

helped bring a new measuring system into full compliance with

e n g i n e e r e d

rigid hygienic requirements for the treatment and handling of


biologically sensitive media. PEEK is well suited in this application
because it provides weight savings and corrosion resistance.
Turbo-Fan-Centrifugal Turbine

In a joint venture the U.K and Japan glass-filled PEEK was used
automotive and aerospace applications. Glass-filled PEEK offers
weight savings, cost savings and more efficient use. The lighter

Arlon performs under conditions generally considered too harsh for plastics, e.g., cryogenic to above
480F, (250C) downhole to (137.89 MPa) Arlon
resists corrosion across a broad range of chemicals
found downhole. Arlon provides total immunity
to hydrolyzing conditions of high-pressure and
high-temperature steam service. Arlon gives thermal
stability as its coefficient of thermal expansion can
be dictated by the filler system used. Arlon can be
injection molded for exceptional flexibility and
absorbs and dissipates energy unlike normal PEEK,
which shatters. Additionally, Arlon compounds
provides excellent wear resistance when used in
bearings.

Greene, Tweeds Arlon is a high-performance,


lightweight, tough polymer perfect for replacement
of metal parts because of its excellent strength
to weight ratio. Arlons unique combination of
mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrical
properties has resulted in it being consistently the
thermoplastic of choice for downhole environments.

Use spiral flute machine reamers where possible at speeds of 100

using a water coolant. Arlon can be very abrasive to high-speed drills
particularly when glass-filled grades are being machined. To minimize tool wear, use carbide-tipped tools. Work sharp corners with care
to avoid the possibility of chipping. Although Arlon is impervious
to most coolants and oils, the use of these should still be restricted

ADVANCED ENGINEERING EXPERTISE


Expanding on our years of sealing and plastic expertise, Greene
Tweeds polymer composite technology products are much lighter
than traditional metals, with material properties that set us apart
from the competition. Our lightweight solutions combine the
high strength of a metal with the corrosion resistance of a plastic. Our highly engineered solutions provide exceptional fatigue
performance while still delivering cost-effective components.

benefits over traditional metallic materials. Xycomp is lightweight


and corrosion resistant while providing the ability to tailor its
thermal expansion characteristics. With specific strength and
stiffness values over 400 percent that of Titanium combined with
superior chemical compatibility and fire resistance properties,
Greene, Tweeds Xycomp composites deliver greater value.
Xycomp is well suited for a variety of critical applications, from
bracketry to missile wings and fins.

Thermoplastic vs. Thermoset


Greene, Tweeds advanced composites rely on thermoplastic resins
for their matrix, giving our components a wider range of benefits
than conventional thermoset resin systems. Benefits include
improved chemical resistance, increased impact, toughness and
ductility, more complex single-mold components, excellent postmolding machinability, recyclable properties and infinite shelf life.
Composite Components
Our composite materials consist of long or continuous fibers
increasing the tensile and flexural properties of the composite as
stress is transferred along the fibers through the matrix. Supplied
using woven fabric, unidirectional tape or yarn, our continuous
fiber is used for compression molding of basic and more complex
plates for mold-contoured shapes.
Greene, Tweeds WR series of composites, constructed into highperformance, extremely reliable wear components, is replacing metal
in demanding applications. Our WR525 composite consists of a
continuous carbon fiber combined with an advanced thermoplas-

tic matrix. Our WR300 is compression-molded carbon fiber and


thermoplastic. Their outstanding wear and friction properties,
high-chemical resistance plus nongalling and nonseizing properties
make them ideal for wear rings, bushings and bearings.
Greene, Tweeds composite products manufactured from Orthtek
are much lighter than traditional metals, with material properties
that set Orthtek apart from the competition. Our lightweight
Orthtek solutions are transparent to x-rays (radiolucent) and offer
mechanical properties competitive to those of metals. Orthtek
composites exhibit a density two times lower than aluminum and
six times lower than stainless steel. Additionally, Orthtek provides
resistance to ethylene oxide, autoclaving and steam sterilization,
so it works well in a variety of medical and biotechnology applicationsfrom simple instrumentation to complex medical devices.

The most obvious advantage of overmolding a conductive pin


with a high-quality thermoplastic is complete isolation of the
conductor. Further specification of thermoplastic materials with
good elongation and mechanical strength eliminates the possibility
of leakage to ground. The various grades of Arlon can be molded
over many pin materials and subsequently machined to precise
tolerances. This produces a finished connector that is void free
with good mechanical strength and consistent properties throughout
its operating temperature range.

c o m p o n e n t s

Greene, Tweeds custom-designed electrical components have


been developed specifically for use in severe environments like
those found downhole. The unique designs utilize Greene, Tweeds
proprietary Arlon grades of virgin or glass-reinforced thermoplastic.
This thermoplastic is an extremely hard-working insulator with a very
low coefficient of thermal expansion. Bonding these thermoplastics
to a variety of metals produces a hermetic seal that is maintained
throughout the operating temperature range. This ensures no arcing,
a common problem associated with conventional glass to metalsealed electrical components.

Arlon Materials & Design
THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL

m a t e r i a l s

Greene, Tweed uses PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) and PEEK-HT


(Polyetherketone) to produce the injection-molded outer connector
body of Seal-Connect connectors. Complete certification testing
on each resin lot ensures full traceability and compliance to
specifications.
In order to manufacture a repeatable high-quality part, injection

molds are designed with simplicity and consistency in mind. While


many parts could be molded completely to print, experience shows

p r o d u c t

that an overmolding of Arlon with subsequent machining provides


more uniform physical properties and enables economic tooling.
Proprietary stress relieving anneal cycles further alleviate inconsistencies. The figure on the right indicates differences in complexity
of flow patterns in a detailed molding vs. an oversized blank molding.

d a t a

For most applications Arlon 1000 injection molded PEEK performs


adequately. Limitations of Arlon 1000 become evident at service
temperatures above 350F (175C) or when the outer sealing diameter
produces extreme loading. Arlon 1160, 30 percent glass-reinforcedgrade PEEK, can be used for applications requiring higher mechanical
properties, but it experiences some degradation above 350F (175C).
For the most extreme temperature applications Arlon 2000 PEEK-HT
should be considered because its higher glass transition temperature
gives improved mechanical properties to 400F (204C). Please refer
to Arlon Material Properties for a full listing.

CONNECTOR COMPONENTS
Arlon is a consistently dependable insulation material. Precisionmachined connector bodies, induction coil spools, coaxial assemblies,
chassis and single-pin connectors are but a few of the historical
uses of this material.
Each single-pin connector assembly is carefully inspected to ensure
electrical integrity. Insulation measurements consistently indicate
500 Giga-ohms of isolation @ 500 VDC and ambient temperature.
In the single-pin connector design we see the benefit of a material
with good strength and elongation as temperature increases. The
low coefficient of thermal expansion not withstanding, Arlon

connector bodies will expand at a slightly greater rate than most


of the metal conductors. However, no gaps between the pin and

p r o d u c t

body are formed throughout the operating temperature range.


Therefore, while temperature rise affects the insulation resistance
of nearly all materials, the Arlon single-pin connectors exhibit
10,000 mOhms minimum at 2500 volts DC and temperatures as
high as 500F (260C).

d a t a

Mating pairs of pins and sockets are also checked for contact
resistance. Although materials and plating selection greatly
influence this parameter, no designs to date have shown more
than 10 mOhms increase when mated. Connector and harness
assemblies are also checked during prototyping to proof the
design and manufacturing techniques.

Further material properties allow specification of Arlon thermoplastic in a wide variety of components besides single-pin connectors.
A consistent dielectric constant, low dissipation factor and excellent
dielectric strength have proved indispensable in coaxial, triaxial and
high-frequency applications.

SEAL-CONNECT
Boot Materials & Design
CONNECTOR COMPONENTS
The injection-molded, machined connector is often coupled with
an elastomeric connector boot. Historically these boots have been
responsible for a large number of leakage failures. Recent innovations

&

in materials and design along with proper installation and maintenance give users more confidence in critical service applications.

d e s i g n

As a world leader in elastomeric material formulation and production


for high-performance sealing systems, we have drawn on this core
competence to produce our first nonconductive grades of hightemperature elastomers for Seal-Connect boots. R&D in this area

continues with new formulations for the varying needs of our


customers. To date a nonconductive Fluorocarbon elastomer (FKM)

p r o d u c t

based on the Viton GF1 Polymer and another based on the Fluorel
26502 Polymer are available. Other compounds can be selected
or formulated very quickly for prototyping applications due to our
extended experience in chemical compatibility.
In rubber molding, as with Arlon injection molding, we have
prototyping and production. Extended resources in rubber-molding
capabilities include dozens of presses, in-house or outsourced
tooling design and construction, and rubber-injection partnering
for extremely high-volume components.

The boot assemblies, as shown above, can be constructed simply of

many designers use Teflon to ensure high-temperature insulation

Unless otherwise specified, new designs utilize three-piece construction
to guarantee adequate high-temperature insulation resistance.

provided. However, to ensure positive locking and more reliable


sealing, an improved teardrop-shaped boot seal is recommended.
These boot designs are easier to install and have enough retention
to remain in place even when low viscosity greases are used inside
the boot assembly. Smaller diameter sealing surfaces typically use a
smaller radius that provides the same positive lock of the boot to
the connector.

As new products are added, Greene, Tweed engineers determine


appropriate testing to qualify the design. However, all new SealConnect products are qualified per a standard testing sequence.
In addition, long-term tests are run to characterize creep tendencies
on many designs, and pressure/temperature cycling is used to
verify service ratings and estimate life cycles. Consult Greene,
Tweed Seal-Connect engineers for other tests and specifications.

A multi-lip (redundant), pressure-activated seal is constructed of
elastomeric and/or thermoplastic components. Pressure differential
develops across each lip and a column mechanical load expands
across the entire packing set and is constant at any point in the set.

Vector forces acting on the lips of the Vee induce a radial load

The redundancy concept of the multiple lips maintains sealing


integrity over all application parameters, minimizing the chances
of catastrophic failure.

ELASTOMERS & THERMOPLASTICS


When using elastomers and thermoplastics in critical service
applications, there are a number of options in terms of seal

d e s i g n

configuration and material choice that effectively seal and


provide maximum product reliability. These combinations vary
based on the sealing conditions faced. Greene, Tweed design
engineers pick the best matched material characteristics for
optimum seal performance. The table below focuses on designs
of multiple redundant seal stack combinations for both uni- and

bi-directional HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) and LPLT

nitrogen gas test at ambient temperaure. In addition, it also had to hold
15,000 psi (103.42 Mpa) at a higher temperature (350F, 177C). It has a camactivated Arlon 1000 back-up ring to prevent creep and extrusion of the
jacket. For static applications the cam-activated back-up ring is preferred
because it encourages the backup to close any extrusion gap. MSE assembly

MSEBi-directional with Hat Rings


Typically two separate grooves are used to handle bi-directional pressure.
Greene, Tweed looked at this and developed a single seal assembly capable
of handling pressure from both sides, reducing machining cost, simplifying
hardware design and installation. The hat ring stabilizes and supports the
stack while eliminating damage to the seal. This, in effect, is a modified end
adapter. The center adapter prevents twisting and ensures the seal stack
remains stable in the gland. This is an effective seal at 350F (177C) and
15,000 psi (103.42 Mpa).

MSECombination Stack Assembly


The next evolutionary step is the MSE stack assembly. This incorporates primary
and secondary sealing to ensure multiple redundancy. The MSE is the primary
seal, the inclusion of Vee-style seals allows the design to feature combinations of
thermoplastics capable of resisting various hostile conditions. This seal is
capable of holding 20,000 psi at 350F (177C) and passing ports at shifting
pressures of 1,500 and 4,500 psi (31.03 Mpa). Our proprietary Avalon material is

G-T RINGS
10,000 & 12,000 Series
The unique G-T Ring provides a compact double acting seal for

This proven seal combines a tough, resilient, T-shaped sealing
ring with precisely-dimensioned pressure actuated non-extrusion
ringsfor use with pressures ranging from zero to 10,000 psi
and higher. Performance, reliability, and economy as a piston
length. This seal eliminates two major sealing problems: (1) the

Non-Radiused

G-T Ring sealing element is protected from extrusion so that it


seals satisfactorily when clearances must be abnormally large or
where pressures are high, (2) the unique G-T Ring configuration
prevents seal roll and spiral failure. (See Fig. 1)
The G-T Ring is a piston, rod or static seal for use in cylinders,
intensifiers, accumulators, spool valves, and other demanding
fluid power applications. It is currently specified for critical
applications on all major jet aircraft (both military and commermost rugged landing gear shock strut applications.
Figure 1

For more than 25 years the G-T Ring has been used by the
Ordnance Department as the primary seal in recoil systems and
by designers to solve their most severe sealing problems encounincluding rough terrain lift trucks, front end loaders, tractors, back
hoes, excavators, graders, cranes, jacks, oil field valves and well
heads, and machine tools.

extrusion of the sealing element can occur.
Since the non-extrusion rings do not rely on axial compression to
radially expand, but are moved radially by hydro-mechanical

RESISTANCE TO ROLL
The seal is installed in the groove on a flat stable, static base. The
non-extrusive rings complete the rectangular shape of the seal
assembly and lock the T-shaped sealing element in position so
that it is restrained from rolling around its circumferential axis.
The G-T ring cannot roll, twist or spiral (See Fig.3) and therefore,
it is not subject to this mode of failure.

WEAR AND COMPRESSION SET

Figure 2

Since the G-Tnon-extrusion ring prevents extrusion and spiraling


of the elastomeric sealing element, it is not necessary to sacrifice
desirable wear resistance or low compression set characteristics by
selecting a harder compound for its resistance to extrusion, even

at high pressures. Wear resistant compounds with low compression set are available for virtually any operating environment for
which G-T Rings are recommended. G-T Ring design features
which prevent roll of the seal (See Fig. 3), also lock the dynamic
sealing surface in place so the seal cannot twist or move axially
when it is pressurized. The plane of sealing contact is maintained

as pressure builds and the piston and rod move. It is this constant
sealing surface contact throughout the entire stroke that prevents
a leakage even when the elastomer may have taken some compression set or some wear has occurred.

EFFECTIVE SERVICE LIFE


Series 12.000 (Fig. 4) offers the ultimate in G-T Ring performance.
The mating radii at the intersection of the dynamic sealing element
and the non-extrusion ring actuating flanges reduce tensile stresses,
which can occur at this location (See Fig. 2) when the seal is pressurized. These radii also permit even and quick flow of material into
the flange when pressure is applied which results in extremely fast
response of the non-extrusion ring to close the extrusion gap.

Installation
The G-T Ring assembly installs quickly and easily (without tools)
into the same single groove recommended for an O-ring or an
O-ring with backups. The usual installation consists of one seal

and heavy non-extrusion backup rings which make them suitable for relatively high pressure, high clearance conditions, even
when considerable side loading occurs.
In all piston accumulator applications, the heavy-duty wide base
G-T Ring is recommended.
When minimal axial length is of particular importance, the compact narrow base G-T Ring should be selected. The seal assembly

G-T RINGS
11,000 Series
DOUBLE-ACTING SEAL

1 1 , 0 0 0

The unique G-T Ring provides a compact double-acting seal for


use in new design for heavy duty applications where a more bulky
type of seal had previously been required, as well as for retrofit in
stadard grooves designed for O-rings with two, one, or no backups.
This proven seal combines a tough, resilient, T-shaped sealing ring

s e r i e s

with precisely-dimensioned pressure actuated non-extrusion rings


for use with pressures ranging from zero to 10,000 psi and higher.
Performance, reliability, and economy as a piston seal are
unequaledwith no piston drift, with minimum piston length.

This seal eliminates two major sealing problems: 1) The G-T Ring
sealing element is protected from extrusion so that it seals satis-

p r o d u c t

factorily when clearances must be abnormally larger or where


pressures are high; 2) The unique G-T Ring configuration prevents
seal roll and spiral failure (See Fig. 1).
The G-T Ring is a piston, rod or static seal for use in cylinders,
intensifiers, accumulators, spool valves, and other demanding
fluid power applications. It is currently specified for critical appli-

d a t a

cations on all major jet aircraft (both military and commercial),


sealing accumulators, reservoirs, actuators, valves, and the most
rugged landing gear shock strut applications. The 11,000 Series
seals are designed to fit industrial O-ring glands incorporating
nominal rod and bore diameters for zero, one and two backup

Figure 1

widths per MIL-P-5514B.

The G-T design resists extrusion by preventing the elastomeric


sealing element from wedging into the diametral clearance, or
pinching off under motion or pressure. Under pressure, the
resilient T-shaped elastomeric sealing element deforms, transmitting hydraulic pressure down stream. This causes radial swelling
or expansion of the flange under the non-extrusion back-up ring
on the low pressure side of the assembly (See Fig. 2). The skive cut

Figure 2

in the non-extrusion ring permits instantaneous radial movement


into positive contact with the cylinder bore or rod being sealed,

Since the non-extrusion rings do not rely on axial compression to

closing the clearance gap before any extrusion of the sealing ele-

action, they need not be made of easily deformed material.

EXTRUSION RESISTANCE

d a t a
p r o d u c t
\
s e r i e s

Rather, they can be made of durable, low friction material with


high shear strength and high resistance to cold flow which results
in superior resistance to extrusion. These pressure-activated nonextrusion rings successfully bridge the large clearance incident to
the use of wear-rings and protect the seal both from extrusion
and contamination. As radial loading of the non-extrusion rings
varies directly with fluid pressure, seal friction is kept to a minimum during the low pressure portion of the pressure cycle.

RESISTANCE TO ROLL
The seal is installed in the groove on a flat stable, static base. The

Figure 3

non-extrusion rings complete the rectangular shape of the seal

1 1 , 0 0 0

assembly and lock the T-shaped sealing element in position so


that it is restrained from rolling around its circum-ferential axis.
The G-T Ring cannot roll, twist or spiral (See Fig. 3) and, therefore, it is not subject to this mode of failure.

The G-T Ring is dimensioned so that the sealing element is


installed with seal squeeze balanced between static and

Rod seal

dynamic surfaces, thus providing a positive seal even at zero and


low pressure differential across the seal.

COMPACT SEAL
use in new designs for light or heavy duty applications where a

14,000 Radiused

more bulky type of seal had previously been required.


This proven seal combines a tough, resilient, T-shaped sealing

&

element with precisely dimensioned, pressure-activated non-

13,000

The unique G-T Ring provides a compact double-acting seal for

extrusion rings (Figure 1) in applications where pressures may

14,000

range to 10,000 psi (690 bar) or higher.


The seal eliminates several major sealing problems:
1. Sealing element is protected from extrusion where clearances
are large or pressures are high,

3. As non-extrusion rings are radially activated, they may be fabricated of materials with high shear strengths that will successfully

13,000
Non-Radiused

bridge large clearance gaps encountered during high pressure


cylinder breathing or incidental to use of wear rings. For more

product

2. Prevents spiral failure common to O-Rings, and

than 40 years, the G-T Ring has been used by the Ordnance

data

Department in recoil systems and by Industrial designers to


solve their most severe sealing problems encountered in a wide
variety of industrial, mobile and oil field requirements.
Utilize related ISO recommendations where appropriate as follows:
1. ISO/R286, tolerances (where suitable),
2. ISO 468, surface roughness, and

The sequential range of rod and bore diameters for each cross
section are recommended for G-T seal type usage in dynamic
applications only. Extension of range of diameters in each cross
section group is possible but should be discussed with Greene,
Tweed. For example, use of 1.78 mm cross section seal in a 20
mm dynamic piston application would not be recommended in
favor of a 2.12 mm Cx seal.

HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER SEAL


Style # 32

r i n g

The G-T Ring 32 Series is especially recommended for high-pressure


hydraulic systems, in systems that develop high-pressure spikes, or
systems where rapid accelerated motion or rapid pressure reversals
occur. The style #32 radiused G-T Ring is an advanced concept to

ority in thousands of oilfield, industrial and aerospace applications.


Seal Width
Three seal widths are availablewide, intermediate and narrow.
In rugged hydraulic applications, the heavy-duty, wide base G-T

Ring should be selected. This G-T Ring is designed to function in


the groove that can accommodate an O-ring with two backup rings.

p r o d u c t

The wide base G-T Ring has maximum stability in the groove, the
largest sealing surface, and heavy nonextrusion back-up rings
that make them suitable for relatively high pressures and high
clearance conditions.

When replacing an O-ring, the compact narrow base G-T Ring should
be selected. This seal assembly is designed to function in a groove
that normally accommodates an O-ring without backups.

CAPPED GT RING SEALING SYSTEM

TM

The Greene, Tweed Capped G-TTM Ring is a double-acting, highpressure piston seal that combines the space-saving and non-

r i n g

extrusion features of more conventional compression-type seals


with the low-friction, long-life characteristics of O-ring energized
TFE cap-type seals.

A positive seal that offers a high degree of sealability in both

p r o d u c t

high and low pressure environments, the CGTTM Ring is designed


to handle temperature extremes, a wide variety of fluid media
and larger than normal clearancesyet requires a short axial
length gland, and assembles and installs easily in the shop or in
the field. Further, the CGT Ring is especially suited for long-stroke
applications due to its low sliding friction and unique geometry

d a t a

which prevents roll and spiral.

ELASTOMERIC SEAL PROBLEMS


In designing, with many elastomeric compression-type seals,
engineers have to deal with inherently higher friction as well as
roll, spiral, nibble and extrusion failure problems which severely
limit the performance envelope (Figures 1 and 2). The CGT Ring
solves these problems, its geometry providing the high degree of
stability necessary to overcome roll and spiral (especially useful
in long-stroke applications) and its radially-energized backup
rings preventing the T shaped elastomeric sealing element or

And, because the CGT Rings TFE cap is radially loaded in direct
proportion to applied pressure levels, frictional losses and wear

TFE cap seals, each of the CGT Rings elements can be designed
to perform a specific task by optimizing desired properties, dramatically reducing materials compromises that would normally
be made. The T-shaped elastomeric energizer must transform
axial pressure to radial loading, and thus is compounded for low
compression set and high modulus. The low friction sealing element (cap) is designed for sealability and optimal wear resistance,
resulting in long operational lifein comparison with conventional caps the design of which must be compromised so that the

high shear strength NWR (wear-resistant nylon) material to provide
stability and superior extrusion protection.
