Seal Size

The Basic Pressure Rating is for a standard seal, as shown in the typical arrangement, when installed according to the criteria given
in this Data Sheet and generally accepted practices.
The Basic Pressure Rating assumes stable operation at the rated speed in a clean, cool, lubricating, nonvolatile liquid, with an
adequate flush rate. When used with the multiplier factors, the Basic Pressure Rating can be adjusted to provide a conservative
estimate of the dynamic pressure rating. Contact John Crane for more information.

Multiplier Factors
Example for Determining Pressure Rating Limits:
Multiplier Factors
Seal: 100mm/4.00" diameter Type 3710
Carbon SiC Product: Brown Paper Stock
Selection Consideration
vs. SiC vs. SiC Face Material: Carbon vs. Silicon Carbide

Temperature* Up to 80°C/175°F x 1.00 x 1.00 Operating Temperature: 85°C/185°F

Between 80°C/175°F and 120°C/250°F x 0.90 x 1.00 Operating Speed: 1800 rpm

Using the Pressure Rating Limits graph, the maximum pressure would be 12.6 bar g/183 psig.
From the Multiplier Factors chart, apply the multipliers for the specific service requirements to determine the maximum operating
pressure for the application.
12.6 bar g/183 psig x 0.90 = 11.4 bar g/165 psig
At 1800 rpm with the service conditions noted, a 100mm/4.00" diameter Type 3710 Cartridge Split Seal has a maximum operating
limit of 11.4 bar g/165 psig. If operating pressure exceeds the pressure limit, consult your John Crane Sales/Service Engineer.

*The temperature at the seal faces includes the effects of flush and cooling.
