Inflatable Seal Configurations Inflatable Seal Configurations

Most seal configurations can be achieved fairly quickly without any tooling. Endless lengths and straight lengths are most common. In order to assure that a seal is configured properly, the selection of the right inflatable seal profile in conjunction with its configuration follow a general rule of thumb:

A rounded corner's center line radius should be no less than 4 times the width or height of the profile selected in the direction of the radius. *

Thus: a seal profile that is 1" wide, should have a rounded corner that has a 4" center line radius.

* Smaller radii and square corners can be achieved, but may require tooling & setup.
