While chemical compatibility and mechanical property testing are an important part of materials selection and qualification, such analyses are often insufficient. Testing seals under more real world conditions like differential pressure in non-ambient temperature environments is critical to understanding how they will
actually perform when coupled with other aspects such as gland or mating parts design.
Post-Testing CharacterizationPerformance testing is often accompanied by dynamic mechanical or other thermal analysis, micro-
scopic examination, or chemical analysis to gain insight into failure mode and material degradation.
