Frequently Asked Questions: Industrial Engineering Services
What industries do you specialize in for seal engineering?
ESP has dedicated in-house engineers specializing in food & beverage, oil & gas, aerospace, industrial equipment, fuel handling, mining, agriculture and construction, and other off-highway equipment markets. Each industry has unique regulatory and performance demands, and our engineering team ensures seals meet those requirements.
Can you help troubleshoot recurring seal failures?
Yes. We perform detailed failure analysis, reviewing operating conditions, installation practices, and material compatibility. This allows us to identify root causes and recommend improved designs or materials that extend service life and reduce downtime.
How do you ensure seals meet international standards?
We select materials and manufacturing processes that comply with standards such as FDA, 3A, NSF, ISO, ASTM, and API. All specifications and test data are documented and traceable.
Do you offer on-site engineering support for OEMs?
Yes. Our engineers can visit your facility for installation reviews, troubleshooting, and design consultations to ensure seals perform as intended in real-world conditions.
What’s your process for failure analysis and recommendations?
We inspect failed seals under magnification, identify wear patterns, and evaluate environmental conditions. Using this data, we recommend material changes, design modifications, or installation adjustments to improve performance.
