Whitepaper: Testing of HFC in High Temperature Applications
Water-based hydraulic fluids combined with high temperatures present new challenges for sealing material development
To ensure sealing performance is maintained in water-based hydraulic fluids, it is imperative that operators understand the effects of high temperature exposure of sealing materials within water-based hydraulic fluids. Until now, these two elements have not been thoroughly tested together at high temperatures.

Trelleborg's tensioner cylinder seals exceed 20-year lifecycle rating
By Mary Gannon, June 2019
Seals used in offshore rig tensioner cylinders must meet the same rigorous lifecycles as the cylinders themselves. Because offshore environments are harsh and installation and maintenance can be difficult, tensioner cylinders must have a 20-year life. That was why, more than 20 years ago, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions conducted research, determining that its seals could last this necessary lifecycle.
Trelleborg introduces XploR S-Seal
By Eric Bucci, published in "Rubber & Plastics News", May 2019
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions recently launched XploR S-Seal and XploR FSSeal, extrusion-resistant elastomers the company developed for demanding high temperature and high-pressure sealing environments in the oil and gas industry.
As the oil and gas industry evolves, sealing materials are required to work effectively in more challenging environments. This article details the effects of exposure to water-based hydraulic fluids and High-Pressure/High-Temperature (HPHT) fields on common sealing materials.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions helps develop revolutionary subsea product
When faced with the challenge of helping to create a product to boost safety and efficiency for offshore engagement, Trelleborg went above and beyond in developing a complete sealing solution to help its partner "revolutionise" the oil industry.
Design Considerations for Subsea Valve Stem Seals
Valve design in general is a very broad subject, so in order to offer design considerations it is necessary to set some limits to the type of valves covered in this article.
The subsea valve applications discussed herewith are Ball Valves
Artificial Lift: Pumping for Longer
Over time the internal pressure of oil wells drops and various methods and systems are incorporated to invigorate flow. When reservoir drive does not provide enough pressure to lift fluids to the surface, artificial lift equipment is installed to help lift the fluids. Artificial lift is used on oil wells to enhance oil recovery rates....
HP/HT Requirements Drive Subsea Sealing Technology
Andrew Longdon, UK technical manager, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, discusses why unconventional oil well exploration and processing is driving subsea sealing technology.
As operators try to maximize the yield from offshore oilfields, exploration has moved to greater depths subsea. Unconventional wells, previously believed to be too deep for existing capabilities are now being reinvestigated
NORSOK M-710 Sealing Material Qualification
The NORSOK M-710 specification underlines the need for oilfield equipment OEMs to achieve higher levels of quality and compatibility for non-metallic seals used in oilfield equipment operating anywhere in the world. What started with mainly Norwegian or European requests for NORSOK M-710 approved materials has now extended across the globe, making NORSOK into an internationally recognized standard.
