Do you sell a split reciprocating seal that will contain 15,000psi?  I
am not interested in rotating seals.

Dear clear-ga;

This forum doesn't sell anything except research. Are you looking for
someone who can find you the product you are asking about? If so,
please expand on what you are needing exactly.

I am looking for a split piston or rod seal.  It must hold 15,000 psi
in a static application.  If you know where any can be found, please
tell me.  The answer to this question is the research I need.

Thank you for yoru clarification. I am running into more questions so
far than answers. Can you tell me what application this item is
intended for, what type of material, in your case, must it be made of
(I've found several types) and if you know what the actual dimensions
are? I also need to know the profile of the seals (ie, shape, etc.) as
they are manufactured in a variety of designs.

(If you have manufacturer specs that would be great and it would
answer all these questions at once)

Tell me the designs you have found so far.  
Judging by your comments, you have found the answer.

Dear clear-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question.

These are the types of profiles I was referring to:
http://www.tigerseal.com/rodseals.htm
http://www.tigerseal.com/pistonseals.htm
http://home.btconnect.com/dli-seals/Pages/prodpro6.htm
I found many additional places that list diagrams of seal profiles.

In researching further, I believe these companies can provide you with
what you need. While most of them don’t openly advertise seals that
support 15,000 psi, the companies listed here can probably produce the
items you need as a specialty item or have the item you need but don’t
offer it as a normal retail item:

EPM
http://www.epm.com/
They also offer a service where you can send them any seal and they
will size it and identify it for you. There are also a number of links
on their page to other companies.

ZATKOFF SEALS AND PACKING
http://www.zatkoff.com/catalog/products.asp
This company also offers seals made from a variety of components for a
variety of uses.

UNIVERSAL TRADE ENTERPRISES
http://www.utenterprises.com/catalogue.html
This is another company that appears to be able to provide or produce
the seals you need.

CHESTERTON
http://www.chesterton.com/center/products/
This company also appears to be heavily involved in the creation of
high performance seals.

BUSINESS.COM
http://www.business.com/directory/industrial_goods_and_services/industrial_supplies/gaskets_and_seals/seals/
This is a large list of seal manufacturers if yiou need to make any
inquiries about specialty items.

I hope you find that that my research exceeds your expectations. If
you have any questions about my research please post a clarification
request prior to rating the answer. I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga
