HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY MECHANICAL SEALS?

• With a variety of mechanical seals available, it
  becomes necessary to understand the different
  types. Repairing or replacing a seal is possible
  only when you can identify the type and purpose
  of the product.
• A company that manufactures pumps designs seals
  works as per the model and application. Hence,
  one seal might not work in pumps from the same
  company due to differences in structure.
• Usually, manufacturing companies mark codes and
  numbers on the parts, but over time, due to
  continuous usage, the part wears out, and
  markings fade away.
• In such situations, if you know details of the
  components, you might still be able to identify
  the seal type.

TOP TIPS TO IDENTIFY MECHANICAL SEALS

• Here, we will discuss information regarding such
  components to make it easier for you. So that,
  once you can categorize and communicate to the
  maker, the replacement is quick and appropriately
  done.

Elastomer
01.

• Elastomers are the rubber components. Check them
  properly, and if these have withered or have
  become hard, you will have to replace them
  entirely. If you see that the rubber part is in
  usable condition and flexible enough, you can
  still use it for a longer time. In case of
  replacement, discuss the prevailing temperatures
  and application with the manufacturer, and most
  certainly, they will be able to render the best
  support.

Seal faces
02.

• Seals are made of various materials, and thus the
  colour of one type is different from the other.
  Below are a few types of materials
• White-coloured faces are ceramic.
• Metal faces can be made of aluminium bronze,
  brass or bronze.
• Grey coloured faces are made of silicon carbide
  and are lighter than the other versions.
• Heavier grey or silver-grey faces are tungsten
  carbide.
• Black ones are made of carbon.

Spring type
03.

• Every manufacturer uses different types of
  springs for different models of seals. Check if
  your seal has a single, multiple or wave type
  spring. Wave types are used in compact pumps,
  while single is most commonly used. Another
  alternate to springs is metal bellow. The bellows
  are costlier and used in complicated seal
  applications.

Metallurgy
04.

• This component tends to fail only in rare cases.
  Reliable companies use metals like steel (304 and
  316), bronze or brass for manufacturing seals,
  making them sturdy. Pumps used in seawater have
  seals made of Monel, while those exposed to high
  temperatures are usually Hastelloy based seals.
