Extend Pump Life with These Mechanical Sealing Options
Mechanical seals prevent leaks and the introduction of contaminants between a pump’s rotating shaft and the pump casing. There are many different styles of mechanical seals. They come in all sorts of sizes and configurations to work with different pumps and fluid media. Some are rather simple in design, while others are much more complex. […]
The Advantages of Pumping in Series
Several solutions are available when an application demands higher head than just one standard pump can handle. One option is to replace the pump with a larger, heavier duty model. This certainly makes sense from a performance standpoint. However, the bigger the pump, the higher the cost. Is that kind of upgrade in your equipment […]
What Seal is Best for Cryogenic Temperatures?
Cryogenics involves the study of how matter behaves at extremely low temperatures. In some cases, these temperatures might approach absolute zero as liquefied gasses, refrigerants, coolants, low-temperature hydrocarbons and other cryogenic liquids are used to create very cold environments with stable chemical reactions. The Challenges of Cryogenic Sealing One of the biggest challenges in […]
How to Handle Cavitation in Your Application
Cavitation is a serious concern for pump operators. It occurs when miscalibration or other problems cause the formation and subsequent implosion of vapor bubbles within a pump. Cavitation can happen anywhere the pressure of a process liquid falls below it’s ideal vapor pressure. Why is Cavitation a Problem? When cavitation occurs, it can do […]
