dc.description.abstract	Mechanical seals were developed for a pipeline with demanding operation conditions. Natural gas liquids (NGL), refined products, and crude oil are pumped in batch mode. Seal pressure varies over a wide range and the pumps are subjected to start/stop operation. The presence of abrasive pipe rouge (iron fines) is a further complication. Laboratory tests and field verification demonstrate that mechanical seals employing silicon carbide versus silicon carbide wavy faces can handle the severe conditions. Successful seals have been running in the field since September 2000.	en
