Designing with inflatable seals
seals can be provided in a wide variety of configurations, including rectangular, U-shaped, and wind tunnel. They generally cost less and seal better than compression seals, especially on rough and irregular surfaces. Round inflatable seals can act axially, inward radially, or outward radially
