To press between two bodies; to press together closely; to compress; often, to compress so as to expel juice, moisture, etc.; as, to squeeze an orange with the fingers; to squeeze the hand in friendship.
Fig.: To oppress with hardships, burdens, or taxes; to harass; to crush.
To force, or cause to pass, by compression; often with out, through, etc.; as, to squeeze water through felt.
The act of one who squeezes; compression between bodies; pressure.
When the external pressure of an air space is greater than the internal pressure.
The deformation of a seal caused by the difference in dimension between the seal and the space into which it is installed.
The procedure of pumping a slurry of cement into a particular space in the borehole (often the annulus between the borehole and the casing), so that the cement will solidify to form a seal.
(r) the compression of a seal, usually expressed as a percentage calculated by dividing the deformation by the original seal cross-sectional diameter.
to compress with violence, out of natural shape or condition; "crush an aluminum can"; "squeeze a lemon"
squeeze or press together; "she compressed her lips"; "the spasm contracted the muscle"
Cross section diametral compression of O-ring between surface of the groove bottom and surface of the other mating metal part in the gland assembly.
Inserting cement under pressure into the poorly sealed annulus of a well, past the existing material.
O-ring compression between the two mating surfaces comprising the groove. Can be axial, or squeezed on the top and bottom surfaces, or radial, squeezed on the inner and outer surfaces.
Compression of the O-ring between the two mating surfaces comprising the walls of the cavity or "gland" into which the seal is installed. Squeeze may be either of two types: Axial - squeezed on the top and bottom O-ring surfaces, as in face seals. Radial - squeezed on the inner and outer O-ring surfaces, as in piston or rod seals. Squeeze helps to assure a leak-resistant seal.
