Considering seals and gaskets as the same is a common misconception—and it’s easy to see why. They both perform the same function of preventing leaks. However, their applications are different. Gaskets are used for static surfaces like joints. Seals are used for dynamic surfaces like rotating shafts, engines, and pumps.
Mechanical seal failure can lead to pump failure and resultant downtime. Why would this be the case? Mechanical seals undergo several conditions. If they’re altered in any way, the seal will have to be replaced. Here are four signs it’s time to replace your mechanical seal.
When you have a high-value mechanical seal and the state of its part allows it, you can easily repair a mechanical seal and save yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars in system maintenance. Here are three operations that are carried out when it comes to fixing a damaged mechanical seal.
Gaskets are used to seal two surfaces by creating a compressed static seal. This seal results from compressive forces created from bold load and can fill all the imperfections of the mating surfaces that require sealing.
Jobsites are unforgiving, dirty places. After a day of hard work, your equipment needs a rub down to ensure that it runs in the best possible way and for longer. Proper maintenance also ensures that your workers work in a safe environment.
As a factory owner, you may often ask yourself why mechanical seals fail and how to prevent this from happening? A seal is a barometer in the pump that helps the operators and maintenance personnel know about the pump’s health. Here are six common reasons why you may need mechanical seal repair.
CNC, short for Computer Numerical Control machines are a godsend for the manufacturing industry. Automation via this technique has made production of products and parts faster, cheaper, and more reliable than ever before. However, true to obsolescence, these machines can also fall into disrepair.
A double mechanical seal has a cavity between the inner and outer faces where the liquid resides. In its unpressurized form, this liquid acts as a buffer between the contents pumped by the equipment and the outer environment, whereas the pressurized form creates a barrier between the two.
