Mechanical Seals for Pumps : Application Guidelines
A Cost-Saving Guide to Proper Selection, Installation & Operation
Hydraulic Institute (2006) in cooperation with the Fluid Sealing Association
Hydraulic Institute supported by 19 industry experts and in cooperation with the Fluid Sealing Association has compiled the most comprehensive book to date on mechanical seals. It is easy to read and filled with drawings, photographs and reference tables.
Chapter 3, Basic Operation Principles, provides in just seven pages an excellent overview of the essential elements of a mechanical seal—how it functions, how it’s lubricated and how to estimate power consumption of a liquid-lubricated seal.
There are 113 drawings and photographs, many in colour, that illustrate the text. The 28 colour photographs in Chapter 23, Troubleshooting Mechanical Seals, show actual wear. These photos are accompanied by text that explains the probable cause of each type of wear.
There are 16 reference tables. Table 15.6: Material selection guide for mechanical seals is 20 pages long and contains compatibility guidelines for more than 500 products.
Chapter 2, Definitions, is a 20 page dictionary of the terms used in reference to mechanical seals and their operating environments. The 56 terms identified in the table in Appendix B are shown with their corresponding symbols and units of measurement in both metric and U.S. customary units.
The book is now available from the Europump General Secretariat for €140 per copy plus postage. Please order using the form on the next page.
