Types of Inflatable Seals by Petersen Products
Continuous Annular Seals
Continuous inflatable annular seals are designed as a single, uninterrupted loop of material. They are typically used for applications where a seamless, uniform seal is required around a pipe or opening. This type of seal is ideal for creating a tight barrier in applications such as pipeline isolation, temporary sealing of joints, or any scenario where a continuous, reliable seal is needed.
Split Open-Ended Annular Seals
Split open-ended inflatable annular seals feature a design that allows the seal to open and close around a pipe or object. This type of seal is particularly useful for situations where easy installation and removal are required. Split open-ended seals are commonly used in scenarios such as temporary repairs, bypass operations, or when sealing around pipes of varying diameters.
