Why is Silicon Carbide Used in Mechanical Seals?

Mechanical seals operate in harsh environments such as high speed, abnormal temperatures, corrosive medium, and high pressure. Silicon carbide is used in mechanical sealing solutions for prolonged seal life, improved performance, and reduced maintenance costs.

What is a Double Seal and When to Use One?

Dual or double mechanical seals are specifically designed to provide maximum sealing safety. They help eliminate fluid or gas leakage in the mixers of pumps. They offer zero-emission compliance, unlike single seals. These seals are commonly installed in equipment for mixing or pumping toxic or dangerous substances. They’re essentially required in certain applications, and companies …

Lapping mechanical seals

What are Lapping Services, and How Do They Work?

Lapping is performed on ceramic, glass, or metal surfaces to eliminate their roughness. During the process, two surfaces rub together with an abrasive in between. The abrasive material is a powder used as a grinding agent at relatively low speeds. The process is implemented for products that require extremely tight tolerances of parallelism, finish, thickness, or …
