How to measure mechanical seals

26 Sep.,2023

 

Once you have determined the sizing of your seal, we need to know the materials the seal is made from. Please also supply us with the following information:

1. What is the rotating seal face made from? Is it a black rigid material? Then it is most likely carbon.

2. What are the rubber or elastomer portions of the seal made from? Unless you are pumping chemicals or high temperature liquids, then it is most like Nitrile (also called NBR or Buna-N).

3. What is the "stationary" or "seat" made from? Is it a white, hard material? Or, is it a metal?

4. What shape is the "stationary" or "seat"? Does it have an o-ring around the outside which is in a groove (like the photo above)? Or, does the "stationary" or "seat" have a rubber piece that it fits into which is like a cup? So, the "stationary" or "seat" is either an o-ring mount or a cup mount type.

With high quality products and considerate service, we will work together with you to enhance your business and improve the efficiency. Please don't hesitate to contact us to get more details of seal standard.
