Mechanical Seal Type 960 Product Overview
-
Design Type
- Likely a balanced or unbalanced mechanical seal configuration, potentially with a single spring and elastomer bellows structure for compact installation 15.
- May adopt double mechanical seal design for enhanced leakage control in harsh environments (e.g., seawater, wastewater) 13.
-
Material Composition
- Primary sealing faces: High-performance materials like silicon carbide (SiC) or tungsten carbide (WC) for wear resistance 16.
- Secondary seals: Fluorinated rubber (FKM) or perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) to withstand chemical corrosion 56.
- Bellows: Possibly welded metal bellows (e.g., AM350 stainless steel) for high-temperature/pressure applications 6.
-
Key Features
- Leakage control: Compliant with API 682 standards, suitable for pumps requiring minimal fugitive emissions 5.
- Durability: Grinding-resistant design for abrasive media (e.g., slurries, mud) 1.
- Adaptability: May support both soft packing gland and mechanical seal configurations based on user preference 13.
-
Applications
- Ideal for centrifugal pumps, reactor coolant systems, and multi-stage series pumps in industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment 35.
-
Standards & Certifications
- Likely conforms to API 610 (pump standards) and ISO 21049 (mechanical seal specifications) 5.
Recommendations
For precise specifications of Type 960, consult the manufacturer's datasheet or contact suppliers directly. Key parameters to verify include:
- Pressure-temperature limits
- Shaft diameter range
- Dynamic sealing efficiency
- Compatibility with specific fluids (e.g., pH, viscosity).
