Mechanical
seals within this group are used mainly in the chemical process, petrochemical and similar
industries, where leakage control is highly important due to the working fluid
characteristics, it can be toxic, corrosive or explosive, this type of mechanical seals
usually work under very critical conditions, for that reason some of them are
hydraulically balanced to support high pressures, besides they can be manufactured with
the appropriate materials to resist extremely high or low temperatures. |
