French

Domaine(s)
  • Accouplements (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Joints d'étanchéité statiques. Pour assurer l'étanchéité entre les faces des brides, la solution idéale est l'assemblage sans interposition de joint : [...] Cette solution ne peut être adoptée que dans les installations à très haute pression [...] Il est donc nécessaire, dans la plupart des cas, d'intercaler un matériau élastique [...]

OBS

Contrairement à la garniture qui assure l'étanchéité dynamique d'un assemblage, le joint en assure l'étanchéité statique.

OBS

joint statique : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

OBS

joint statique : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).
