API 682 is the leading document for mechanical seals in petrochemical, chemical, and pipeline services worldwide. It has combined the aspects of seal design, testing, standardization, and applications to provide the users ...
Best Practices for Cartridge Mechanical Seal Installations
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The reliability of a mechanical seal depends on more than the design of the seal itself. It also depends heavily on the practices used to install the mechanical seal into the centrifugal pump or other equipment. The actual ...
Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Mechanical seals are the most common method of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps
and other rotary equipment. Although the basic concepts of a seal is simple,
successfully using seals requires an understanding of the ...
