Abstract
The differences between mechanical and shaft seal devices intended for high reliability and seals which were designed without reliability as the foremost consideration are examined and explained. Highlighted are such important topics as flow distribution enhancement in the seal face region, the merits of narrow face configurations, pumping screws and their influence on the simplification of the buffer system, and other related topics. Guidelines are included which enable the user to specify meaningful acceptance tests for mechanical seal systems. These guidelines allow the user to gauge the relevance of unusual material selections, face material impregnations, and seal geometries.
