This paper will explore a possible method of comparing and evaluating recurring observations of leakage in rotary shaft seals, as an integrated part of a hydraulic system, under accelerated tests.
In extension of this endeavor, the Author is open to future collaboration with any individual wishing to pursue either: a more rigorous mathematical examination of the assumptions made in this paper; or an effort to implement the Leakage, Number of Motor and Time parameters into the 3D surface roughness integrals which were discussed in this paper.
