What is Mechanical seal?
{{no sources|date=November 2024}} A '''mechanical seal''' is a piece of [[hardware]] that is used in places where two other pieces of hardware are connected. The idea of the seal is to prevent or limit leakage. Depending on the use case, there are different designs of these seals. Very often, the substance used for sealing is also important.
