Flowserve Circpac HP - Manual (Page 7)

7 Off-Site Performance Testing
7.1 Equipment manufacturers will often execute performance tests with
the Circpac HP installed on new or retrofit equipment. Some seal
esigns will require replacement of the seal rings if testing exceeds the
seal design’s specific operating window including pressure,
temperature, speed, and fluid media.
7.2 Witness testing of the seal design on simulated equipment may
similarly result in replacement of the seal rings. Although the
disposition of the seal rings is usually known prior to performance
testing with provisions specified in the sales contract, contact your
Flowserve representative for additional information.
7.3 New equipment with seals already installed is typically shipped
ready to start up, unless otherwise specified. To ensure seal integrity
prior to commissioning, it is prudent to review the complete seal
installation instructions with emphasis on the following procedures.
7.3.1 Check all fasteners for proper engagement.
7.3.2 Verify that setting plates are removed.
7.3.3 Check all pipe fittings and control system connections.
8 Repairs and Guarantee
8.1 The Circpac HP is expected to provide reliable performance when
operated within its designed operating envelope. However, repairs will
be necessary when the seal reaches the end of its normal life
expectancy or when it has been operated outside of its design
envelope including some emergency upset events.
8.2 This product is a precision sealing device where the design and
dimensional tolerances are critical to seal performance. Only parts
supplied by Flowserve should be used to repair this seal. Unless
specially arranged, Flowserve will manage repair of this seal and
should be contacted as soon as a repair is required. When removing
the seal, carefully reverse the procedures outlined in these
instructions.
8.3 The Circpac HP can normally be repaired to its original condition.
After inspection, a detailed quotation will be prepared for factory
restoration. Upon acceptance of the quotation, the seal will be rebuilt,
tested (optional), and returned to sender.
8.4 A guarantee is only given for original Circpac HP replacement parts
and accessories delivered by Flowserve Corporation. Flowserve is
not liable for damage incurred through the use of non-original
replacement parts and accessories and all guarantees are rendered
