Each mechanical seal, only for the specified scope can be effective. Improper selection, will make the sealing performance significantly reduced, shortened life, and even failure. The main parameters of model selection are as follows:
I. medium pressure P of the sealing chamber
Medium lubricity is good, high viscosity, P≤ 0.8mpa choose non-equilibrium type. Medium lubricity is poor, low viscosity, P≥ 0.5mpa
II. Linear velocity V
V≤25m/s is of rotary type. V≥25m/s is a stationary type.
III. PV value
The PV value relates to the stability (vaporization) of the fluid film between the sealing surfaces and the wear resistance of the friction pair. Examples of PV limit values:
End face composite material | Medium | Non balance | Balance |
Cobalt chromium tungsten/graphite | water | 2 | 7 |
Tungsten carbide/graphite | Water | 9 | 35.5 |
Tungsten carbide/graphite | water | 35.5 | 142 |
Silicon carbide/tungsten carbide | water | 7 | 26.6 |
Silicon carbide/tungsten carbide | water | 2 | 9 |
IV, sealing medium temperature T
In the absence of external cooling, the maximum temperature of the mechanical seal generally depends on the safe use temperature of the auxiliary sealing material. See the following table:
Material | Safe use temp.℃ | Remarks |
丁睛橡胶(NBR) | -30~100 | Use metal bellows for mechanical seal when over safe operating temperature |
硅橡胶(MVQ) | -40~200 | |
乙丙橡胶(EPR) | -10~160 | |
氟橡胶(FPM) | -30~180 | |
聚四氟乙烯(PTFE) | -100~220 |
V, the particularity of the medium.
1, viscosity: low viscosity medium easy dry friction appropriate to choose the balance type. High viscosity medium, should use forced transmission structure.
2, corrosion and chemical solvents: a, strong corrosion should be sealed with external type of four fluorine bellows.
B. the applicable table of auxiliary seals in different chemical media is as follows
Material | Usage |
丁腈橡胶(NBR) | Mineral oil, gasoline, volatile oil, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, water, phosphoric acid, etc |
硅橡胶(MVQ) | Butanol, low swelling mineral oil, weak acid, weak base, ammonia, etc |
乙丙橡胶(EPR) | Acetone, alkali, sulfur dioxide, potassium dichromate, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, etc |
氟橡胶(FPM) | Hot oil, steam, inorganic acid, butanol, chlorine solvent, etc |
氯醇橡胶(FCO) | freon |
3. Containing suspended solid particles: tungsten carbide/tungsten carbide or silicon carbide/silicon carbide should be used for stationary and static ring materials. When the particles are easy to block the sealing chamber, washing liquid after filtration or separation by auxiliary device should be used to flush the end surface.
4, highly toxic or gas medium: it is appropriate to use double end mechanical seal.
