RE: calculate breaking force of a labyrinth seal
Differential pressure is dictated by several factors such as number and geometry of teeth, gas density, clearance, etc.
For further reference, see: Mechanical Design, 2nd Edition, P. Childs - Pub. El Sevier 2004

Are you looking at mechanical strength calculations applied to the teeth with respect to a certain Delta P?

i mean breaking the sharp fins of the labyrinth.
can the fins of the labyrinth break, if the differential pressure is too high ?
