What is a seal in engineering?
A mechanical seal is a device that helps join systems or mechanisms together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. A stationary seal may also be referred to as ‘packing’.
What is mechanical seal and its types?
Mechanical seals are critical components in centrifugal pump systems. These devices preserve the integrity of the pump systems by preventing fluid leaks and keeping contaminants out. Mechanical seal systems are used on various seal designs to detect leakage, control the seal environment and lubricate secondary seals.
Why use a double mechanical seal?
Double (or dual) mechanical seals are designed to ensure maximum sealing safety. These seals virtually eliminate leakage of the fluid or gas being handled in pumps or mixers. A properly installed double seal also allows for near complete control over the seal operating environment and fluid film over the seal faces.
What is difference between single and double mechanical seal?
A single seal has two faces, while a double seal has four. A double seal divides faces into rotating and stationary. Single seals use the pump’s fluid as a lubricant, while double seals have a dedicated buffer or barrier liquid.
Are there different types of cartridge mechanical seals?
