Mechanical Seal Support Systems
When rotating equipment fails, it’s often due to a seal failure. In fact, about 40% of all unscheduled critical pump shutdowns are caused by mechanical seal failures. Swagelok’s seal plans maximize the life of mechanical seals and the reliability of rotating equipment by maintaining lubrication and pressure with properly conditioned fluid flows. This application guide steps through the options.
