Mechanical Seals
Seal failure is often a symptom of an underlying problem within the pump.
A seal manufacturer addresses common end user confusion and offers a crash course.
Understand how different pump types impact seal chamber pressure.
Material hardness by itself is not always a virtue.
Although the traditional application is as a bearing surface, the technology is suitable for a seal face surface in pumps.
Externally pressurized porous gas bearings are being applied in seal applications for rotating equipment.
Understanding the manufacturing process that produced the equipment, as well as the production and cleaning processes for which the equipment is used, is vital for efficient operation.
Energy escapes the system when heated process fluid leaks, making seals a critical component for conservation.
Sealing Sense - Mechanical Seal Basics: How Mechanical Seals Work
Thanks to recent technological developments, split mechanical seals are now a viable solution to seal large shafts on rotating equipment.
Operators should investigate the pros and cons of each option to determine the best fit for their applications.
Because of the substantial concentrations of solids that these pumps handle, end users must understand the available sealing options.
End users will consistently purchase these critical wear components.
The industry has developed a specialized method over time.
