When people choose a mechanical seal, the choice of wear face material depends on factors such as the reliability and safety of the material, the complete lifecycle cost of the mechanical seal, and its usage and wear. Read more.

What should be considered while choosing a mechanical seal type? There are several aspects- the cost of installation, characteristics of the pump, long-term running cost, and the anticipated cost of operation. As far as seal types are concerned, there are two types of seals- cartridge type and non-cartridge type. Read more.

Every industry follows specific operating standards. For example, in a huge oil and gas refinery, there are detailed specs for every equipment and tool. Whether it is a pump or turbine, or a mechanical seal, there are written procedures and details of everything. Even to decide about a seal, one has to follow the product specifications and preferences. In a smaller industry, the procedures may not be that systematic and documented but they also follow operating protocols. ...

When you drive for operational efficiency, there has to be a balance between cost-effectiveness and reliability. There is no sense in procuring low-quality material if it is available at low prices. Ultimately, you will arrive at higher wear and tear, and subsequently, it will stretch the bottom lines. Read more...

Internet of Things or IOT is the new sensation. It is an appealing and exciting concept. Nowadays, IoT has been widely used all over the world. Even in the field of mechanical engineering, it could be a game changer by improving mechanical seal performance and reliability. Read more...

Though mechanical seal is a small component, it plays a crucial role in the failure and success of the pumping system. If the film is too thin, then it will generate heat and degrade the material.To promote long life of the seal; the sealing interface has to be kept clean and cool. Here are some factors that will extend the life of a mechanical seal. Read more...

Keeping mechanical seals safe is essential for their performance, reliability, and durability. Equipment conditions play a vital role in it. The mechanical seals are designed with the objective to stop leakage of the fluid during the operations without limiting the amount of motion in the rotating parts. They are installed onto the rotating shaft. Read more...

Two sealing technologies are prevalent; pump packing and mechanical seals. Engineers choose one of them as per the needs and expectations in a particular application. Which one is more effective and efficient for your agitator or pump application? Read More...

Measurement of a mechanical seal is a systematic process. Sometimes, it is impossible to cross-reference a seal. What should be done to assure that the right seal is received for the pump? Read More...

The most often asked question is what to choose for the pump sealing application; a mechanical seal or compression packing? Well, both methods have some positive points and some negative points. The blog compares between the two choices and helps you in choosing the right one. Read More...

Mechanical seals play an important role in the pump. When the liquid is pumped, it enters the suction chamber inlet at the eye of the impeller. When impellers rotate at very high speed, the liquid is forced out centrifugally to the outside diameter of the impeller. Read More...

It is quite important to maintain a mechanical seal pump for achieving the maximum output. The performance degradation is caused when the seal face gets worn out or damaged. In the former case, replacing seal is the easiest way. If the latter case, you need to diagnose the actual problem which is damaging the seal. Read More..
