Why Seals Fail - Part 2 | Enclosure Institute™ Video #7

Описание: Part 2 of Why Seals Fail dives into the mechanical side of sealing issues, focusing on design flaws and installation missteps. Even top-tier gasket materials can fail if the geometry is off, fasteners are misplaced, or compression is uneven.

In this video, we cover common design and assembly-related causes of seal failure, including:

Poor gasket geometry
Poor integration or retention
Installation or handling damage
Uneven compression
Insufficient venting

Packed with practical solutions, this video equips engineers to spot sealing risks early and apply better gasket design across their enclosure systems.
