1 Equipment Check
1.1 Follow plant safety regulations:
• lock out motor and valves.
• wear designated personal safety equipment.
• relieve any pressure in system.
• consult plant MSDS files for hazardous material regulations.
1.2 Adjust the bearings, coupling, and impeller so that the shaft is in its operating
axial position. This shaft position must be used to check all seal setting (SS)
dimensions during installation. Disassemble equipment to allow access to seal
installation area.
1.3 Remove all burrs, nicks or scratches, and sharp edges from the shaft and sleeve
including sharp edges of keyways and threads. Replace worn shaft or sleeve. Make
sure the seal housing bore, face, and sealing fluid flush taps are clean and free of
burrs and sharp edges that might damage gasket.
Seal Chamber Requirements
Figure 1
1.4 Check requirements for shaft, sleeve, and seal housing. See Figure 1.
1.5 Check assembly drawing included with the seal for equipment dimensions,
seal design, materials of construction, and piping connections.
1.6 Check shaft or sleeve OD, box depth, box bore, and distance to the first
obstruction to ensure that they are dimensionally the same as shown on the
seal assembly drawing.
1.7 Check gland pilot and bolt holes to ensure they are adaptable to the equipment
and are the same as shown on the assembly drawing.
1.8 Handle all seal parts with care, they are manufactured to precise tolerances.
The seal faces are of special importance. These two sealing faces are lapped flat
to within two light bands (23.2 millionths of an inch).
Keep the seal faces perfectly clean at all times.
