dc.description.abstract	This tutorial presents an introduction to dry gas seals (DGSs) and their associated systems. DGSs are used as a shaft end seals for compressors and turbines, and they are installed on virtually all centrifugal compressors produced today. A DGS is able to provide very low leakage flow rates due to the small running clearance between the rotating and stationary components. This tutorial discusses the basic principles of DGS operation, terminology, applications, and API Standard 692 design requirements for DGS systems. The last section covers causes of DGS failures and practices to prevent them.
