Hi All
One of the tube fitting in the high temperature hot oil system is leaking, the temperature is 350 Deg C. The easy way to fix the leak is to use a suitable sealant / Putty to stop the leak for the time being until permanent is available
Can someone help me out by suggesting a suitable sealant at this temperature
Thanks in advance for your help

350C is high temperature for sealants to with stand and I concur with 3DDave on temporary fixes. If the problem is serious for a short time, why can't you use half pipe clamping with suitable gasket sleeve?

 
Dear Pfluid,

You may contact for guidance and services.

Standard disclaimer: I am in no way connected to them.

Also, do remember that any such repair is purely temporary in nature and must be restored to the original at the earliest.

So what happens when this tube fails?
If it is serious then shut down and actually fix it.

I would agree with quark if the action must be urgent. Mostly of the sealants can't withstand that kind of temperature.
