Seal Face Lubrication
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
