Tribology is the study of friction, lubrication and wear in seals and other wearing surfaces.

Optimisation of the lubrication film is key to obtaining maximum life with minimum wear for dynamic seals. Fundamental to optimising lubrication is the effective application of fluid engineering and thermodynamics.

BHR Group has been involved in numerous projects to study critical parameters of seal design, surface texture, heat transfer, etc. for improved seal performance, and we have developed specialist research and test facilities for:

• Offshore Sub-Surface Control Systems
• Rotary Seals
• Mechanical Seal Materials
• Reciprocating Seals
• Research into Turbo Pump Seals
