Mechanical Seal Sale and Packing


In todays industrial environment, the purpose and usage scenario of mechanical seal and accessories are growing. Environmental contamination has been a growing concern in the United States and Europe for decades, and in each of those decades the Environmental protection agency (EPA) has made the allowed leakage of environmental contaminants increasingly strict. Mechanical Seals have played a large part in reducing the emission once only slowed by braided packing which had to leak to function. Mechanical Seals have become a standard for Refineries, Chemical plants, waste water plants, Ships, and other critical leakage control industries, as well as applications applicable to the every day consumer including automobile water pumps, and swimming pool pumps. They offer exceptional leakage control, and have increasingly replaced braided packing. Usage of mechanical seals will only expand as environmental hazards in developing nations become larger issues and need to be addressed.

A Mechanical Seal has 3 primary design characteristics

1. Seal faces

2. An Energizer

3. Secondary seals

Mechanical Seal Characteristics:Seal faces


which are lapped flat to within 2 - 3 light bands. Making the seal face flat within millionths of an inch. Since both faces are lapped flat and then pressed together it effectively seals our any fluid (other than a very thin film) from leaking between them.

An Energizer
Its done using a single spring, multiple springs, wave springs, metal bellows or even o-rings or internal pressure, but one of the above must be used to create a force pressing seal faces together preventing leakage from between the seal faces.

Secondary Seals
While seal faces seal perpendicular to the shaft, secondary seals are necessary to seal parallel to the shaft. Those seals include rubber boots, common to industry standard type 1, 2, 21, 6 and 6A seals. ORings made of a variety of elastomers including Buna-N, Viton, Aflas, Kalrez, Chemrez, Amerirez, PTFE, SBR, Neoprene, and FEP encapsulated o-rings. Gaskets made or the same elastomers as above, along with Flexible Graphite, and Compressed non-asbestos materials. In the case of high temperature metal bellows seals Flexible Graphite wedges are used to seal the pump sleeve/shaft.

An Introduction
When choosing an industry and manufacturer to supply the equipment, it is always wise to go for the one who has solid experience in the industry. With decades of experience, professionals can deliver both ready-made and custom made sealing solutions. Modern day mechanical seals are an integral part on all fluid pumps and are a viable alternative for lip seals as well as packed glands. In practical applications, using these seals has been proven to increase pump longevity and make them usable for extended periods of time. Based on the load the pump is expected to bear, the size of the seal and the overall design will vary from one product to another. Materials used to manufacture them will also be customized according to individual or industrial needs.
