NOTE
Any leakage must be drained off in a controlled way and safely disposed of.
Components which may come into contact with the seal leakage must either be
corrosion-resistant or must be adequately protected.
▪ For physical and technical reasons a mechanical seal cannot be leak-free.
▪ Leakage can be either in liquid or gaseous form. Its aggressiveness corresponds to
that of the fluid to be sealed off.
▪ The quantity of leakage is influenced by several factors:
– Seal selection
– Manufacturing tolerances
– Operating statuses
– Smooth running of the pump
▪ In the running-in phase of the mechanical seal higher leakage can occur.
6.3 Operating limits
NOTE
Always observe the operating limits in the product literature and the other
applicable documents.
NOTE
The following values are limits that depend on the seal face materials and
elastomer materials. As the characteristics influence each other, operation at
minimum/maximum limits is not possible for all characteristics at the same time.
