In pure water operation, silicon carbide cannot be used for the mechanical seal of horizontal end-suction pumps
Thread Content
In the horizontal end-suction pumps currently in use, when the fluid being transported is pure water (with a conductivity of less than 0.5 μs/cm), it can cause corrosion on the surface of the silicon carbide mechanical seal. Has this issue occurred to anyone?
Trace impurities in pure water can also cause corrosion on the surface of mechanical seals
Silicon carbide is corrosion-resistant; has the original poster looked for reasons from other aspects?
I guess the seal on your machine wasn’t damaged by water; it’s probably a problem with the installation
It’s impossible; my devices use pure water, and the mechanical seals I use are made of silicon carbide. Moreover, acid is added to some of the water, yet this problem hasn’t occurred. Please post a picture so everyone can take a look
The original poster can take some photos of the damaged mechanical seal and friction pair and post them, so that everyone can analyze them together
I work in technical support, and I’ve never heard any customers mention that it might be caused by anhydrous dry film or wear of medium particles
Hehe, that’s absolutely impossible~~~
The silicon carbide you’re using is likely fake. ;P
It shouldn’t be; silicon carbide functions normally under phosphoric acid conditions
