Vast stocks and the shortest lead times in the industry makes M Barnwell Services the trusted supplier of Bonded Seals / Sealing Washers to thousands of engineers.
Commonly known as Dowty Seals, M Barnwell Services Bonded Seals and Washers are reliable and dependable in high pressure applications. Particularly suitable for sealing under the heads of bolts and threaded components, for Pipe Couplings and a wide range of connector applications where a perfect face-to-face contact is required for sealing gases, oils, and other fluids.
Our Bonded Seals (or Dowty Seals) consist of a rubber sealing element that is bonded to the inner wall of a metal washer. They are useful in applications where high pressures demand greater sealing capacity that can be obtained with Copper or traditional washers.
The rubber inner-rings are typically made from elastomers including: NBR, Viton™, or EPDM, depending on the requirements. The elastomer provides a necessary versatility and ability to perform under high-pressure conditions, forming a tight seal under pressure.
Our Mild Steel / Stainless Steel range offers the highest burst pressure resistance offering tensile strength up to 540 MN/m2 (35 tons f/in2 UTS) minimum. For materials see our material properties page.
For specialist gas and medical applications we recommend using our range of BODOK Seals. These seals help to ensure an air-tight seal between the cylinder yoker or regulator of any medical device.
