Shapes, expansion, connections of inflatable seals
Inflatable seal shapes
- rings
- straight seals .. (All cross sections)
- U-frames ……… (IFS# 2 / IFS# 3 / IFS# 4, IFS# 84, IFS# 408 / IFS# 411)
- frames …………. (IFS# 2 / IFS# 3 / IFS# 4, IFS# 84, IFS# 408 / IFS# 411)
- bespoke shapes
Preshaped corners – LIKON offers preshaped corners to allow for the use of sections bend in tighter radii than normally possible.
Types of expansion
Depending on the shape of the seal and the position of the valve position inflatable seal can expand in different directions and planes.
