Should zero-leakage pumps be used to transport expensive media?

Should zero-leakage pumps be used to transport expensive media? Exactly how much does expensive mean? This requirement is too vague. Are there any practical examples that can be used for calculation? For instance, how much of the medium leaks from the mechanical seal each year, what is the unit price per ton of this medium, and by multiplying these values, we can determine the annual cost resulting from the leakage. What is the initial investment cost for the equipment? This shows why it is necessary to use equipment with zero leakage, as it is more cost-effective. What are some common expensive mediums?
This analysis is quite detailed; future maintenance costs and potential risks also need to be included
For flammable, explosive, and toxic media, leak-free pumps should also be used: lol
