SEALS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01) <\/span>Failure of mechanical seals is usually easy to spot, with a slow drip or steady stream of fluid sprouting from the seal gland. Such a failure is seldom the cause of equipment failure, but it can be a warning sign of other problems.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 2) <\/span>Poor material selection is a common mistake. It can lead to seals swelling or cracking or corrosion of the face. While most people know that you need a robust seal for corrosive fluid, many fail to take into consideration conditions such as temperature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a03) If a pump is operated too quickly, a crack might develop in the pump’s seal. But there are other factors as well. The pump’s operating conditions also have an impact on its performance and lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n4) If your seal must withstand extreme temperatures, you should understand how the operating conditions affect the seal. If the fluid’s temperature is extreme, the seal may crack.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter parallel alignment of the coupling, the angular alignment should then be checked with a micrometer or caliper. Measure from the outside of one flange to the outside of the other at intervals around the periphery of the coupling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhen seals fail, it is most often due to dry running. Dry running can be caused by issues with the fluid source, blockages in the suction side of the pump, or the pump running with its discharge closed. thermally triggered the dry running of a pressurized hydraulic system can cause unexpected seal damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
