Welcome to the BURGMANN Sealing World
Gas emission    

Gas dissolved in liquids or gas that has penetrated elastomers is emitted when the temperature rises and/or the pressure falls. If the gas emission does not take place slowly, it will always lead to dry running in the sealing gap and damage to O-rings.
