This Fluid Sealing Association Knowledge Series training presentation relates seal
leakage to seal face lubrication and power consumption. Included are overviews of:

▪ Leakage, lubrication, and wear of mechanical seals

▪ Forces and pressure profiles that create mechanical seal lubricating films

▪ Leakage Rate-Gap correlations and factors

▪ Power consumption and lubricated regimes of liquid-lubricated mechanical seals

▪ Seal balance, used to improve the duty parameter to promote lubrication
