ENGINEERED COMPONENTS

The patented Dovetail Seal was created specifically for dovetail

glands where conventional seals can seriously compromise function.
The unique geometry of Greene, Tweeds Dovetail Seal precludes
twisting and simplifies installation. In addition, the seals parting
lines are buried in the dovetail gland where they are protected
from plasma attack. Compared to traditional O-rings, the Dovetail
Seal offers better seal integrity, reducing the potential for process
contamination and allowing for more than twice the sealing force.
Typically made from Greene, Tweeds proprietary perfluoroelas-
tomer compoundChemrazDovetail Seals ensure stability
and cleanliness.
FEATURES & BENEFITS

plasma attack
Larger sealing surface to enhance seal integrity
Limited particle generation with Chemraz perfluoroelastomer to
lower contamination potential
APPLICATIONS
