The Seal Specification, Settled Before You Leave the Floor

The SECO7 configurator reduces a catalogue cross-reference to a few taps. An engineer supplies fitting size and material, receives the correct AS4824-certified part number, and finds the pressure, torque, and compatibility data sitting alongside it. All of it works with the handset offline.

 

Project: SECO Seals · Aerospace engineering tools

Project Overview

Client: Seco Seals Inc, an AS9100 & ISO9001 certified aerospace seal manufacturer with over fifty years in the field, based in Costa Mesa, California

 

Sector: Aerospace & defense

 

Industry context: Metal-to-metal sealing for high-pressure fluid systems

Product: The SECO7 Seal Configurator, an iOS & iPad reference & selection tool

 

Intended users: Aerospace & defense engineers, mechanical & fluid systems designers, maintenance & test lab staff, & distributors & purchasing agents specifying to a verified standard

 

Build focus: Offline reference data, size & material part matching, compatibility lookup, direct route to a manufacturer engineer

 

The product covers AS4824-certified thirty-seven degree flared tube fitting conical seals across five material options, and is built so the person specifying a part can confirm that specification without leaving the place they are standing.

Key Features

Size & Material to Part Number

Select a fitting size and one of five materials, and resolve to the correct SECO7 part in seconds. The gain is a verified answer arriving in the time it previously took to locate the right catalogue page.

Ratings & Compatibility in the Same Place

Chemical compatibility by material sits alongside pressure and torque data, inside the selection flow. The gain is that a specification is confirmed rather than merely chosen.

No Connection Required

The reference set resides on the device, so the tool performs identically on a shop floor, in a test cell, or at a site with no coverage. The gain is reliability exactly where desk-bound tools stop working.

Inside the Product

Chemical detail, compatibility, and an engineer, a few taps apart. The chemicals index lists the substances a system may carry, so a lookup can begin from the fluid rather than from the fitting. Opening any entry returns its detail with a compatibility list running down the material options, marking which are cleared for that substance. The contact screen puts a manufacturer engineer within reach from inside the application, carrying the address, telephone, and sales email needed to escalate a case the reference data does not close.

Retire the Spec Sheet

Certified data, no tolerance for error, and users with no connection is a set of constraints that rules out most conventional approaches.

 

Scoping happens in days. Working software follows in months. A senior engineer owns the architecture from the first conversation through to release.
