Plan 66A & Plan 66B

Description: Plan 66A is an external drain with an external

pressure transmitter to detect high level leak rates. Normally

for Arrangement 1 single seals. Pressure port and drain are separated by

a gland bushing with an additional gland bushing on atmosphere side.

Objective: Detect seal failure early and minimize leakage past gland.

Typically used on single seals in remote locations and critical processes.

Advantages: More efficient directing leakage to a drain than Plan 66B.

Description: Plan 66B

is an external drain

with an orifice plug and an

external pressure transmitter to

detect high level leak rates on

atmosphere side of seal, utilizing a

single gland bushing. Normally for

Arrangement 1 single seals.

Objective: Same as Plan 66A.

Advantages: Can easily adapt to

most existing seal glands.
