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.
Accelerated testing of rotary shaft seals, coupled with advanced methods of measuring and recording leakage, is challenging existing notions of zero-leakage evaluations of time-to-failure and rotary shaft seal comparisons.
