1 Drawing, Brief Description, Functional requirements
1.1 Assembly Drawing
The assembly drawing is included in the shipping box with the mechanical seal.
1.2 Brief Description
A mechanical seal is a device designed to seal a rotating shaft against a stationary
housing, e.g. a pump shaft against a pump casing. The stationary components will
consist of a seal ring and (depending on the design) a springloaded element. The
spring-loaded element can be a spring or a bellows. The seal ring is sealed against
the housing with a secondary gasket, e.g. an O-ring. The rotating components will
consist of a seal ring and (depending on the design) a spring-loaded element.
The spring-loaded element can be a spring or a bellows. The seal ring is sealed
against the shaft with a secondary gasket, e.g. an O-ring.
A mechanical seal can be supplied as a pre-assembled cartridge or in separate
components. Assembly is done in accordance with the assembly drawing. A
mechanical seal will run in the pumped product or external source fluid. Liquid
seals must always have a film of liquid present between the seal faces. Gas seals
must always have a film of gas present between the seal faces. The sealing sur-
faces are separated from each other by a fluid film (liquid or gas) during shaft rota-
tion and in principle operate without contact and thus minimal wear under these
conditions.
1.3 Explosion protection
These instructions must be used for mechanical seals when installed in hazardous
areas to help ensure explosion protection. Use mechanical seals only in the zone
for which it is appropriate. The mechanical seal supplied with an attestation of con-
formity is good for the following ATEX zone:
II 2GD c (note 1)
II : Group II
2 : Category 2
G : Explosive atmosphere caused by gas and /or vapors
D : Explosive atmosphere caused by dust
c : Ignition protection by constructional safety
Note 1:
A temperature class cannot be given as the actual surface temperature of the mechanical
seal depends on the operating conditions of the equipment in which the mechanical seal
is installed.
3
The difference between fluid temperature and seal face surface temperature depends
on the operating conditions and the product being sealed. The attestation of conformity
is separately supplied with the mechanical seal and contains information to determine
the correct temperature class of the mechanical seal depending on pumped fluid, shaft
speed, shaft diameter and pressure.
1.4 Functional requirements
The proper functioning of a mechanical seal is only achieved once the following
conditions have been met:
The sealing surfaces are lapped within specification.
Perpendicularity and concentricity between the shaft and the seal chamber face
and bore respectively
Freedom of movement of the spring loaded components in axial direction
Axial and radial shaft movements within Flowserve or OEM tolerances
whichever is the tightest.
The seal is operated under the conditions for which it was selected.
The equipment in which the seal(s) is (are) installed is operated within normal
parameters (no cavitation, excess vibration etc.)
Prevention of sedimentation on shaft or sleeve surfaces caused by for instance
crystallisation or polymerisation
Permanent liquid or gas film between the sealing surfaces, depending on seal
type.
Failure to meet these requirements will result in excessive leakage and/or shortened seal
life and may result in high component and surface temperatures (see ATEX, directive
94/9/EC, EN 13463-1 and prEN 13463-5, 2002).
2 Safety
Please read these instructions carefully. Installation in accordance with the following
instructions will contribute to long and trouble free operation of the mechanical seal. For
related mechanical seal auxiliary equipment (reservoirs, coolers, etc.), separate instruc-
tions will be provided.
The ultimate user must ensure that personnel assigned to handle, install and operate the
mechanical seal and related equipment is well acquainted with the design and operating
requirements of such equipment.
4
Damage to any of the seal components and in particular the faces may cause (excessive)
leakage in liquid or gas form. The degree of hazard depends on the sealed product and
may have an effect on people and/or the environment. Components coming into contact
with leakage must be corrosion resistant or suitably protected. Normal seal leakage
should not result in the formation of an explosive mixture. Plant regulations concerning
work safety, accident prevention and pollution must be strictly adhered to.
This mechanical seal has been designed and built to seal rotating equipment. Damages
resulting from use in other applications are the responsibility of the user.
3 General
All illustrations and details in these installation and operating instructions are subject to
changes that are necessary to improve product performance without prior notice.
The copyright of these instructions is the property of Flowserve. These instructions are
intended for Maintenance, Operating and Supervisory personnel and contain regulations
and drawings of a technical character that may not, in full or in part, be copied, distribut-
ed, or used without authorisation for competitive purposes, or given to others.
It should be understood that Flowserve does not accept any liability for instances of
damage and/or malfunctioning incurred through non-adherence to these installation
instructions.
4 Transport, Storage
The mechanical seal and related equipment must be transported and stored in the uno-
pened, original shipping box. The warehouse in which the mechanical seals and related
equipment are stored must be dry and free of dust. Avoid exposing equipment to large
temperature fluctuations and radiation.
Parts or complete mechanical seals that have been dropped or otherwise have been
subjected to heavy impacts during transport must not be installed. An inspection by
Flowserve or its appointed representative is strongly advised.
After a storage period of 3 years the mechanical seal must be inspected for its as new
properties. This applies in particular to the seal faces and secondary sealing elements. An
inspection by Flowserve becomes necessary.
If the equipment is to be preserved with the mechanical seal(s) installed, the preserving
medium must not impair the function of the mechanical seal by e.g. fouling of the seal
faces and/or attack the secondary seals.

5 Equipment Check
5.1 Follow plant safety regulations prior to equipment disassembly:
5.1.1 Wear designated personal safety equipment
5.1.2 Isolate equipment and relieve any pressure in the system
5.1.3 Lock out equipment driver and valves
5.1.4 Consult plant Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) files for hazardous materal
regulations
5.2 Disassemble equipment in accordance with the equipment manufacturers instruc-
tions to allow access to seal installation area.
5.3 Remove existing sealing arrangement (mechanical seal or otherwise).
Clean seal chamber and shaft thoroughly.
5.4 Verify the shaft dimensions as shown on the seal assembly drawing. In spect
surfaces under gaskets to ensure they are free from pits or scratches. Break all
sharp corners on shaft steps, threads, reliefs, shoulders, key ways, etc. over which
gasket(s) must pass and/or seal against.
5.5 Verify the seal chamber bore or OD pilot fit as shown on the seal assem bly
drawing.
5.6 Check seal assembly drawings for any modifications (reworks) to be made to the
equipment for mechanical seal installation and act accordingly.
5.7 The equipment must be earthed to prevent sparks due to static electricity discharge.
Shaft runout should not exceed 0,05 mm (.002) TIR (Total Indicator Reading) at any point
along the shaft for ball or roller type bearings. For sleeve type bearings, refer to manufac-
turer instructions. If the equipment is not completely dismantled, verify runout near seal
location.
The above values apply to
shaft speeds in the range
from 1000 to 3600 RPM.
For values above and below,
consult your Flowserve
representative.
See Figure 1.
Figure 1
6
Shaft endplay should not exceed 0,25 mm (.010) TIR, regardless of thrust bearing type.
See Figure 2.
Figure 2
Radial shaft movement should be checked against the
equipment manufacturer's specifications. Generally 0,05 -
0,10 mm (.002 -.004) will be applicable for ball or roller
type bearings. For sleeve or journal type bearings, values
will generally be in the order of 0,10 - 0,15 mm (.004 -
.006). See Figure 3.
Figure 3
Seal chamber squareness to the shaft centreline should
be within 0,015 mm per 25 mm seal chamber bore
(.0005" per 1" seal chamber bore).
Note: make sure that shaft endplay does not affect the
reading. Verify the smoothness of the seal chamber face
for a good gasket joint. See Figure 4.
Figure 4
7
Concentricity of the shaft to the seal chamber bore
should be within 0,025 mm per 25 mm shaft diameter
(.001" per 1" shaft diameter) to a maximum of 0,125
mm (.005") TIR. See Figure 5.
6 Mechanical Seal Installation
Verify that the mechanical seal is in accordance with the order documents, to ensure that
the correct seal is being installed.
Correct seal setting is important in the successful operation of a mechanical seal.
Cartridge seals unitize the complete seal assembly on a sleeve such that the entire seal is
installed simultaneously. Component seals are assembled sequentially on the equipment
and require careful measurements to properly locate and lock the rotating components
relative to the stationary components. When measuring the setting or securing cartridge
seals, always make sure the shaft is in the same position as when the equipment is opera-
ting (e.g. including the effects of thermal growth or contraction of the shaft relative to the
casing).
To ease installation, gaskets may be lightly lubricated. Lubricant must be compatible with
both handled product and gasket material. Generally, silicon grease is suitable but this
should be verified before applying.
Caution: avoid over compressing a bellows. This could result in reduced spring force and
length.
Figure 5
Some mechanical seals are sensitive
to direction of rotation. Verify that the
direction of rotation of the shaft corre-
sponds to that of the mechanical seal
before installation.

7 Piping Instructions
Piping instructions are detailed on the mechanical seal assembly drawing.
These instructions must be followed precisely to ensure correct seal operation. For auxili-
ary systems: carefully read the operating instructions provided with the system.
Minimize restrictions, especially in closed loop piping arrangements. Unless otherwise
specified, the minimum internal diameter for pipe, tubing and connecting hardware
should be 12,7 mm (.500).
Total pipe length and number of bends should be kept to a minimum. Use smooth, large
radius bends; do not use elbows, tees, etc. Orifices should be installed as far away from
the seal gland as possible. An exception to this rule should be made for orifices fitted to
drain piping. To avoid clogging of the orifice it is advisable to install it in the seal gland
so that the generated heat will serve to keep the leaked product fluid.
For loop type systems (API-plan 23, 52 and 53 A, B, C)
Pipe runs should be sloped continuously up or down to allow adequate circulation, pro-
per venting and draining. Make sure that the loop, including seal gland, does not include
vapor traps. Unless otherwise specified, reservoirs and coolers must be mounted 40 to
60 cm (15 to 24) above the seal inlet or outlet connection, whichever is the highest, to
promote thermosyphoning in standby condition.
Seals equipped with excess leakage detection
Excess leakage detection, often used with single or non-pressurized dual seals, is com-
monly achieved by monitoring liquid level or pressure increases. With such an arrange-
ment, the drain line for normal leakage must slope downward continuously to the point
of exit (e.g. sump). Refer to the seal assembly drawing for additional piping requirements
including the proper location of the restriction orifice and instrumentation.
13
8 Performance Testing of Pumps
Pump manufacturers will often perform pump performance tests on water with the
mechanical seal installed. If the pump product used during field operation is not equal to
water, seal designs and face materials require special precautions to prevent damage to
the seals during these tests. For example, on seals with two hard faces, the seals may be
provided with faces in alternate materials more suitable for the pump test medium. These
faces are to be replaced with faces in the selected materials at the conclusion of the
testing. A mechanical seal equipped with a hard face comination can be safely operated
on water provided the pressure does not exceed 5 bar and the speed does not exceed
10 m/s.
When high temperature seals with graphoil gaskets are tested on water during a pump
performance test, the seals must be carefully dried after the test to prevent vaporization
of water absorbed by the gaskets when the pump is brought to its (high) operating tem-
perature.
Contact your Flowserve representative for additional information.
9 Operational Recommendations
9.1 The pressure and temperature in the seal chamber or of the barrier fluid must not
exceed the recommended maximum seal limits. The shaft speed must also not
exceed the seals limits.
9.2 For seals using external cooling and/or an external flush, apply cooling and/or
flush prior to seal start-up. Avoid inadvertent operation of valves located in the
cooling system that might result in shutting off the cooling flow.
9.3 Single and dual non-pressurized (tandem) seals require adequate vapor pressure
margin in the seal chamber to prevent flashing of the product at the seal faces.
9.4 Dual non-pressurized (tandem) seals require the buffer fluid pressure to be
maintained at a value lower than the seal chamber pressure. Buffer fluid pressure
is usually equal to atmospheric or vapor recovery system pressure, unless other
wise specified.
9.5 Dual pressurized (double) seals require the barrier fluid pressure to be maintained
at least 2 bar (30 psi) above the seal chamber pressure, unless otherwise
specified. It is imperative to pressurize the barrier prior to pressurizing the
equipment. Likewise, do not de-pressurize the barrier system until the equipment
has been fully isolated, depressurized and vented.
14
9.6 Flowserve can supply information on barrier fluid temperature and flow require-
ments based on product type, seal size, product temperature, barrier fluid
characteristics and shaft speed. The buffer/barrier fluid must contain little or no
additives for anti-wear/oxidation. Automotive antifreeze should never be used.
Ensure that the barrier fluid is clean and compatible with the product.
9.7 This seal is designed to resist corrosion by the product(s) listed on the assembly
drawing. Do not expose the seal materials to products other than those shown on
the assembly drawing. The seal assembly drawing lists the materials of construc-
tion. Consult your Flowserve representative when in doubt or when using the seal
for another application than for which it was selected.
9.8 Liquid seal requirements: Do not start the equipment dry. Open valves to flood
equipment with product. Vent all air and/or product vapor from the equipment
casing and the seal chamber before start up. Vent casing and tubing of heat
exchange (if applicable). Process fluid must flood and pressurize the seal chamber
at all times for single seal and non-pressurized dual seals. Barrier fluid must flood
dual seals at all times during equipment operation.
Gas seal requirements: Do not apply liquids to gas seal designs. Non-pressurized
dual seals with the outboard seal designed to operate in gas must be connected
only to a gas purge, if applicable.
9.9 When required, dry steam should be applied to the quench connection. Use a
needle valve (or other flow restriction) to provide 0.1 bar (1 to 1.5 psi) steam to
the quench connection on the seal gland.
This should result in wisps of steam exiting the seal gland area. Ensure that all
condensate is drained from the supply line and open the steam quench slowly
before the pump is preheated to prevent thermal shock.
9.10 Start up equipment in accordance with normal operating procedures unless
specifically requested otherwise by Flowserve.
If the equipment is not operating properly (e.g. seals and/or bearings running hot,
cavitation, heavy vibration, etc.), shut down the equipment, investigate and remove
the cause.
10 Shut down, disassembly
The equipment can be shut down at any time. Before the mechanical seal can be removed
the equipment must be de-pressurized and drained.
Barrier pressure (if applicable) must be relieved after the equipment has been de-pressu-
rized.
15
Product may be released during removal of the mechanical seal. Safety measures and
protective clothing may be required as per the plants safety regulations.
Further disassembly of the mechanical seal must be done according to the suppliers spe-
cifications.

11 System check
Checking of the system, limits itself to monitoring pressure, temperature, leakage and
consumption of barrier (buffer) fluid, when applicable.
12 Spare parts, repairs
This mechanical seal is designed to provide reliable operation under a wide range of ope-
rating conditions. However, repairs will be necessary when the seal reaches the end of its
normal life expectancy or when it has been operated outside of its design capabilities.
This product is a precision sealing device. The design and dimensional tolerances are cri-
tical to seal performance. Only parts supplied by Flowserve should be used to repair this
seal. These are available from the numerous Flowserve stocking locations.
To order replacement parts, refer to the part code, order number or B/M number, which
can be found on the assembly drawing. It is recommended to keep a spare seal on stock
to reduce equipment downtime.
All liabilities and warranties to Flowserve for damage incurred through the use of non-
original replacement parts and accessories will be rendered null and void.
Please note that special manufacturing and delivery specifications exist for all parts of our
products manufactured or produced by ourselves and the replacement parts are always
offered in accordance with the latest technology and with the most current regulations
and laws.
Flowserve seals can normally be reconditioned. When repair is necessary, the seal should
be carefully removed from the equipment (reinstall the centring tabs or setting plates if
applicable).
Decontaminate the seal assembly and return it to a Flowserve authorized repair facility
with an order marked Repair or Replace. A signed certificate of decontamination must
be attached.
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be enclosed for any product that came in
contact with the seal. The seal assembly will be inspected and, if repairable, a quotation
will be made for restoring it to its original condition. Upon acceptance of the quotation,
the parts will be rebuilt, tested, and returned to sender.
