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 …

Not all mechanical seals are built in the same way. Depending on the industry, needs, and various variables in a particular process, a mechanical seal’s requirements can vary differently. But there are numerous aspects that all mechanical seals share to some degree. These are some of the major key features every good mechanical seal has: …
For fluid containment, all sorts of tools are used across different industries. There are numerous variables that need to be considered, from the chemical inertness of the material, how it reacts to different changes in the environment and other factors. One of the most heavily used products is valve stem packing. Here’s what it is …

Mechanical seal barrier fluids are engineered to cool and lubricate mechanical seal faces in both unpressurized and pressurized systems. They ensure safe and lasting equipment performance and help increase the lifespan of mechanical seals. The versatile formulas of these fluids demonstrate that they can be used in a variety of applications. Barrier fluids are created …
Heat effects are a common cause of mechanical seal failure in mixers, agitators, centrifugal pumps, and at every point where a rotating shaft passes through the machine’s housing. Improper seal maintenance, installation, and design often lead to overheating and a major system failure, endangering plant safety and posing an environmental hazard due to pollution from seal …

Here’s how seal faces are modified for improved operations
The least reliable part of centrifugal pumps is the mechanical seal. Most seals prematurely fail even before the seal face wears away. One of the common reasons for premature failure is face instability as the geometric balance ratio of the seal is too low. This guide will discuss the forces applied to the seal to …
