In complex industries, such as oil and gas or pharmaceutical manufacturing, complicated problems deserve thoughtful and innovative solutions. Thus, for the best problem solving for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcorubber.com\/industrial-seals\">industrial seals<\/a>, you need a tried and true process combined with innovative experts to develop solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take our process for example. Here at Marco Rubber, we\u2019re experts at problem solving when it comes to industrial seals. We\u2019ve developed our process to provide solutions that are\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timely<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creative<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information based<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discovered through our in-depth, engineered process<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And backed by our wealth of experience and knowledge.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to industrial seals, we are the experts. That expertise becomes evident when our engineering team gets to work solving complex problems and creating custom solutions for our clients. So let\u2019s take a look at that process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Problem Solving Process<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our problem solving process can start in a couple places. Sometimes, engineers come to us with a design that they know will need a custom seal. We are able to take the application conditions along with the design and work from there to create a custom solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the time though, there is already a seal in place that is not functioning properly. Unfortunately, this means the plant has already experienced seal failures, costly messes, environmental hazards, yield loss, downtime, and general frustration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this situation, it is of the utmost importance that we find a solution quickly, cost effectively, and accurately. So what does it look like when our engineering team gets to work?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Start With a Consultation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal is always to create a custom solution for your situation, so this consultation helps us determine what will best help us solve<\/span><b> your <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">problem. To get there, we\u2019ll start by looking at the application conditions and a drawing or sample of the part in question. Then, we\u2019ll look at the\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of material in use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Size of the seal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Function of the seal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pressure applied to the seal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decompression<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperature<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemical exposure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynamic or static application<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And other pertinent factors that indicate potential design flaws.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Identify the Problem Points<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our team will use our extensive knowledge, expertise, and technology to test your current scenario and determine the ultimate factors impacting your current seal. If you need a seal for a new application, we\u2019ll identify the potential problem points and develop a solution to address those.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our sealing experts have dedicated their careers to understanding the ins and outs of seals so that you don\u2019t have to. We know exactly where to look to determine hidden problems that cause headaches for so many plant managers and engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Engineer a Solution<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After determining what problem points are causing the problem, we can develop a custom solution. For example, we once worked with a customer who was using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcorubber.com\/o-ring-size-chart-index.htm\">standard size<\/a> -470 in a 75 durometer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcorubber.com\/fkm-o-rings.htm\">FKM<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcorubber.com\/o-rings.htm\">o-ring<\/a> would fail and leave fragments in their piping system, causing expensive shutdowns and substantial downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our team reviewed the hardware dimensions and determined that the o-ring was being over-stretched, which caused the seal to degrade. The incorrect size coupled with the high pressure and rapid decompression caused the o-ring to break apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We engineered a properly sized o-ring, as well as a better material for their application. We used our high pressure V1090 FKM compound, a highly durable compound designed to withstand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcorubber.com\/high-pressure-o-rings.htm\">high pressure applications<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our solution allowed them to prevent seal failures, resulting in minimizing downtime and decreased expenses. The customer is also now reviewing all of their other seals and changing them to our V1090 compound to avoid future failures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-294\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.marcorubber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/shutterstock_1453382804_blue-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Problem Solving for Industrial Seals\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.marcorubber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/shutterstock_1453382804_blue-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.marcorubber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/shutterstock_1453382804_blue-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.marcorubber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/shutterstock_1453382804_blue-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.marcorubber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/shutterstock_1453382804_blue.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.

We are certified to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/iso-9001-quality-management.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISO 9001<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcorubber.com\/quality-systems.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quality management standard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We achieved this certification through a dedication to our quality management system, continuous improvements, innovative and adaptive leadership, and evidence-based decision making. We take this certification seriously and have incorporated this attitude into the fabric of our organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we develop a custom solution, the end product works in the application it was developed for and is a quality product designed to last.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.
