API 685 Tutorial
Abstract
For the first time, there is an API standard relating to the use of sealless pump technologies [canned motor pump (CMP) and magnetic drive pump (MDP)]. While sealles technology has been well accepted in chemical process applications, it has not been well adopted in the API market. The lack of an API specification certainly has been a contributing factor to this lack of acceptance. The API market tends to wait for a technology to be fully proven and commercialized prior to considering adoption of the product. However, the API industry is fully committed to utilizing the best technology available to protect plant personnel and the environment.
