A flared high pressure hydraulic fitting that uses a ferrule to form a metal to metal seal

A mechanical seal is a device which helps join systems or mechanisms together by preventing leakage (e.g., in a plumbing system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination.

Seal types;

Induction sealing or cap sealing
Adhesive, sealant
Bodok seal, a specialized gas sealing washer for medical applications.
Bridgman seal, a piston sealing mechanism that creates a high pressure reservoir from a lower pressure source.
Bung
Coating
Compression seal
Diaphragm seal
Ferrofluidic seal
Flange Gasket
Gasket
Glass-ceramic-to-metal seals
Hose coupling, various types of hose couplings
Hermetic seal
Hydrostatic seal
Hydrodynamic seal
Labyrinth seal A seal which creates a tortuous path for the liquid to flow through
Lid (container)
Rotating face mechanical seal
Face seal
O-ring
O-ring boss seal
Piston ring
Plug
Radial shaft seal
Trap (plumbing) (siphon trap)
Stuffing box, Gland (engineering) (mechanical packing)
Wiper seal
Dry gas seal
