A New Way of force balancing mechanical seals
pumps are one of the largest users of mechanical seals. As the name suggests, mechanical seals are contact-type seals, differentiated from aerodynamic or labyrinth non-contact seals. Mechanical seals are also characterized as balanced mechanical seal or unbalanced mechanical seal. This refers to ...Read more -
Choosing the right split cartridge mechanical seal
Split seals are an innovative sealing solution for environments where it may be difficult to install or replace conventional mechanical seals, such as hard to access equipment. They are also ideal for minimising costly downtime for assets critical to production by overcoming the assembly and disa...Read more -
Why don’t good seals wear out?
We know that a mechanical seal is supposed to run until the carbon wears down, but our experience shows us this never happens with the original equipment seal that came installed in the pump. We buy an expensive new mechanical seal and that one doesn’t wear out either. So was the new seal a waste...Read more -
Mechanical seal maintenance options to successfully reduce maintenance costs
The pump industry relies on expertise from a large and varied range of specialists, from experts in particular pump types to those with an intimate understanding of pump reliability; and from researchers who delve into the particulars of pump curves to experts in pump efficiency. To draw upon the...Read more -
how to select the right material for mechaical shaft seal
Choosing the material for your seal is important as it will play a role in determining the quality, lifespan and performance of an application, and reducing problems in the future. Here, we take a look at how the environment will affect seal material selection, as well as some of the most common ...Read more -
How to Respond to Mechanical Seal Leakage in a Centrifugal Pump
In order to understand centrifugal pump leakage, it’s important to first understand the basic operation of a centrifugal pump. As the flow enters through the impeller eye of the pump and up the impeller vanes, the fluid is at a lower pressure and low velocity. When the flow passes through the vol...Read more
