Seal Chamber Requirements
Figure 1
1.5 Make sure the shaft or sleeve and the seal chamber face
are clean and free of burrs, cuts, dents, or corrosion that might
cause leakage past the sleeve packing or housing O-ring gasket.
Replace worn shaft or sleeve. Remove sharp edges from
keyways and threads.
1.1 Follow plant safety regulations prior to equipment disassembly:
• Lock out motor and valves.
• Wear designated personal safety equipment.
• Relieve any pressure in the system.
• Consult plant MSDS files for hazardous material regulations.
1.2 Disassemble equipment in accordance with equipment manufac-
turer's instructions to allow access to seal installation area.
1.3 Remove existing mechanical seal and gland or compression
packing and packing gland (follower flange).
1.4 Check seal chamber to ensure that it is the appropriate design
for the seal you are installing. Dual gas seal configurations are
designed for both standard bore and enlarged bore seal chambers.
