PPC Mechanical SealsOf all the various factors that can affect the performance and life expectancy of a mechanical seal (and there are many), the operating temperature is one of the most critical, and is a vital factor to consider. This is true for more than simply the selection of seal type and materials however; it is also […]
Mechanical seals consist of multiple components critical to successfully preventing leakage of the pumped process fluid. Material selection of seal faces, secondary sealing members, and metal components all factor in to how long a mechanical seal will properly operate. The components making up the mechanical seal differ based on the seal type. Process fluid chemical […]
Replacing mechanical seals is an inevitable and necessary part of maintenance on pumps and other rotating equipment. While they can sometimes run for many years without issue, their service life and performance can be affected by a large number of variables. In order to maximize the mean time between replacement (MTBR), it is necessary to […]
