Shaft Seal Selection for Pumps and Compressors

Industry: Industrial Equipment

Prepare fluid, temperature, pressure and shaft data for review of a pump or compressor shaft sealing application.

Application overview

Identify whether the assembly uses a radial shaft seal, mechanical seal or another sealing arrangement. These are not interchangeable merely because their nominal dimensions appear similar.

Information for selection

  • Equipment and assembly drawing
  • exact fluid
  • pressure on each side
  • temperature
  • shaft speed and direction
  • runout
  • lubrication and startup conditions
  • required quantity.

Product and drawing review

Compare published dimensions and request review of the actual installation. A listed product family is a starting point, not confirmation that every product fits this application.
