What is Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD)
What is Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD)? What are the causes? How it affects elastomers? What is Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD)? or What is Explosive Decompression (ED)? Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) is an occurrence that frequently appears whilst high-stress gas particles drift into the elastomer in the concentrated/compressed form. When the stress ambient to the elastomer is quickly relieved, the compressed gas […]

NORSOK M-710 – Qualification of non-metallic sealing materials and manufactures NORSOK M-710 (Norsk Sokkels Konkuranseposisjon) are standards developed by the Norwegian Technology Centre. What is NORSOK M-710? NORSOK M-710 is a globally accepted standard implemented by the Norwegian Petroleum Industry. It defines the qualification demands of polymer (non-metallic) sealing materials and manufactures. It has started with mostly European and Norwegian […]
Read MoreUpstream Gas & Oil Sealing Considerations
Upstream Gas & Oil Sealing Considerations (extraction and production) Upstream Gas & Oil The upstream section of the Gas & Oil industrial method is preoccupied with extraction and production of natural gas and raw oil. Installations in the upstream section are frequently placed in hard to reach spaces, from the Arctic to deep sea drilling platforms. Processing expenses are also […]
Read MoreCommon Gas & Oil Seal Failure Causes
Why is Gas & Oil Seal Failure Quite Common? Only a number of engineering elements are expected to operate under more difficult conditions than those of Gas & Oil Installations. The environments included in Gas & Oil production consist of severe stresses, temperatures, and chemical media. Additionally, they place rigid requirements on equipment, which must be accurately designed to guarantee […]
Read MoreHow important is FEA Simulation in Gas & Oil
FEA Simulation in Gas & Oil What is FEA Simulation Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer-based manipulation that evaluates how elastomer components are prone to function in real-life installations. This innovative method can ascertain how exposure to extreme temperatures and pressures and aggressive chemical circumstances can influence the components. Adequate use of FEA Simulation can eliminate the necessity for […]
Read MoreMidstream sector of Gas & Oil industry
Midstream Oil & Gas Midstream covers the preservation and freight of Oil and Gas. It is needed to bring together the Upstream and Downstream processes. Efficient sealing is critical in making midstream operations as efficient and safe as possible. There is a number of different service suppliers involved in the Midstream division. From pipeline freight companies through to carriage, tankers, and […]
Read MoreUpstream sector of Gas & Oil industry
Upstream Oil & Gas The Upstream Oil & Gas (exploration and production E&P) division represents uncovering of new origins of underwater or underground gas and oil fields. Pursuing the primary prospecting and surveying for new fields, a broad scope of machinery is needed in the construction and drilling of wells and the extraction of produced liquids. Seals are crucial to the […]

Read MoreSour Gas Resistant O Rings
Sour Gas Resistant O Rings: What is Sour Gas and which elastomers are resistant to it? What is Sour Gas? Sour Gas is a gas stream that contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a poisonous gas found in Oil & Gas wells around the world. H2S is highly corrosive and will react and degrade polymers including many types of elastomers. It will […]
