How to reduce the trial period for experimental investigations of sealing elements by using the Kalman filter — The Kalman filter can be used to economize experimental investigations of sealing elements. In these investigations, the emission characteristics of sealing elements are determined to describe the sealing behavior. One of the most significant emission parameters is the total leakage rate.
