AB - Measurement of the interface film thickness of mechanical seals has been of interest to researchers and industry for many years. This feature describes work to measure the liquid film using a novel ultrasonic approach with a view to developing a condition monitoring tool. Initial tests were based on a laboratory simulation, to compare the method with optical interference and capacitance measurements. Tests were then carried out on a seal test rig. Film thickness was successfully recorded as speed and load was varied. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
