Item Name Code (INC) 50595
![]() |
A rigid metallic item, generally circular. It may be formed of segmented arcs. It is designed to prevent leakage of air in an ENGINE, GAS TURBINE, AIRCRAFT. It may be of various cross-sectional shapes. It may have mounting facilities. It may act as a spacer but its primary function is as an air seal.
Additional Information for Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Air Seal
Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Air Seals are components used in gas turbines and jet engines to prevent the leakage of air or gases between different sections of the engine. These seals are designed to maintain the efficiency and performance of the engine by minimizing the loss of compressed air or combustion gases.
Air seals are crucial in ensuring the proper functioning of the engine and preventing any potential damage or inefficiencies. They are typically made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as metal alloys or advanced ceramics, to withstand the extreme conditions within the engine.
These seals are classified under the supply class "Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components" in the supply group "Engines, Turbines, And Components." This classification helps in categorizing and organizing the various components and supplies related to gas turbines and jet engines used in aircraft.
