What happens if the hydraulic seal is extruded in high-pressure conditions?

When a hydraulic seal is extruded in high-pressure conditions, it can lead to fluid leakage. This occurs when the high pressure forces the seal out of its intended position, which breaks the integrity of the sealing surface. As a result, the hydraulic fluid can escape from the system, leading to reduced efficiency, potential system failure, and environmental hazards if the fluid leaks outside of the system. This vulnerability highlights the importance of using appropriate materials and designs to withstand the operational pressures within hydraulic systems.
