## Introduction

Radial seals are integral components in various industrial applications that demand high reliability and durability. These seals play a crucial role in preventing leakage and maintaining the integrity of machinery under [high-pressure and high-temperature](https://info.polymerconcepts.com/resource-center/applications/high-pressure-high-temperature-applications) conditions. The effectiveness of these seals is heavily dependent on the precise sizing of the glands they fit into, as even minor deviations can lead to significant performance issues.
