N1  - We thank C. Schulze (ISAC, RWTH Aachen University) for help with the measurement of the surface topography of the sand paper surfaces. This work, as part of the European Science Foundation EUROCORES Program FANAS, was supported from funds by the DFG and the EC Sixth Framework Program, under contract N. ERASCT-2003-980409.
AB  - Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. We present experimental results for the leak rate of rubber seals, and compare the results to a novel theory, which is based on percolation theory and a recently developed contact mechanics theory. We find good agreement between theory and experiment. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2009
