THE HISTORY OF SEAL RESEARCH AT BHRA 1947–1975
Abstract
FLUID SEALING research at BHRA Fluid Engineering has its roots in the early years following the 1939–45 war. In 1945 the then Ministry of Aircraft Production felt that the equipment designer needed sound, basic information on the way hydraulic jack seals functioned and the factors affecting their performance. D. F. Denny was therefore seconded to Imperial College, London, to undertaken programme of research on reciprocating oil seals, which resulted in the publication of a 120‐page volume: “The sealing mechanism of flexible packings”, recently reprinted to meet a continuing demand.
