What is considered a normal amount of water leakage from the mechanical seal?

Look, the leakage in this picture is quite severe. Abnormal.
This is already quite serious. Under normal circumstances, a slight leak is not a problem, but in your case it’s definitely because the stationary or rotating ring inside the mechanical seal has cracked.
It’s not leaking; it’s spraying water, right?:lol
It’s clearly flowing; how can it be called a leak?
If it is the quench water from scheme 62, then close the outlet valve completely and open the inlet valve slightly; if it is the sealing water from scheme 54, then replace the seal
Could you tell me something about 62 and 54?
In simpler terms, PLAN62 refers to rapid cooling at the back, while PLAN54 is a double-end face seal, with flushing water flowing between the two sealing surfaces. Additionally, a mechanical seal with a leakage of 5.6 grams per minute or less, roughly 2 drops per minute, is considered acceptable
