As flexibox says, this is a hard question.
Nevertheless, we did apply some seals on systems where, theorically, woldn't work!
As per our knowledge, and practical experience, each seal should be tested on each case. We are working on tribology, and one of priciples of tribology it that, even you tested a seal on a system, it wouldn't work on yours. Hardware and conditions are not the same!
Try to find a good seal, and test to see if it's your "best" one
