Classification of Mechanical Seals
This Fluid Sealing Association Knowledge Series training presentation introduces the different configurations of mechanical seals. This section includes seal types:
• By arrangement
• By design
The wide variety of seal types is due to the diversity of applications: machinery, fluids, and processes. Selection of the best type is not always easy and straight forward as there are usually multiple choices. The most effective choice is usually a compromise between economical and technical factors.
