  • METHOD AND TOOL FOR CONTROLLED APPLICATION OF SEALANT MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20230339197
    Abstract: A method of controlled deposition of a liquid or semi-liquid sealant material is disclosed herein. The method includes the use of a template which allows the sealant material to be deposited as a bead onto a surface of a specific machine part. The placement and shape of the bead, including route and volume, can be controlled using the template. The placement and shape of the bead can correspond to features of the specific machine part. A machine repair kit configured for repair or assembly of the specific machine part can include the template and a sealant material compatible with the template.

  • Sealing member with visible pressure and temperature indication
    Patent number: 9631726
    Abstract: A sealing member for a machine may include an elastomeric body configured to fit at least partially into a recess defined in at least one of two sealing surfaces of two mating parts of the machine. The elastomeric body may include a visible indicator portion extending out from between the two mating parts. The elastomeric body may further include an elastomeric compound, and at least one of a thermochromic dye and a piezochromic dye mixed into the elastomeric compound, wherein the thermochromic dye is adapted to change color upon exposure of the elastomeric body to a temperature above a threshold temperature, and the piezochromic dye is adapted to change color upon exposure of the elastomeric body to a pressure above a threshold pressure.
