The packing seals in high-speed rotary pumps are constantly leaking; could it be a problem with the selection of the packing?
Thread Content
Is the leakage in the packing seals of high-speed rotary pumps due to an issue with the selection of the packing? If the packing is tightened too much, it will be burned by the high temperature. If the packing is loosened a bit, material leakage becomes severe after a few hours. Have other experts encountered this issue as well? What are some solutions? Thank you all
Asbestos packing? Try using a graphite packing instead.
What medium is being transported, and why is gasket material needed? It is recommended to try replacing it with PTFE gasket
Structural improvement can be achieved by adding water rings, while material improvement can be accomplished using GFO fiber packing from the United States
1. It is recommended to add a water ring. 2. Switch to a mechanical seal.
