SEAL FACE PROPERTIES
FOR A SEAL TO WORK… FACE FLATNESS • SEAL FACES ARE TO BE FLAT TO ONE LIGHT BAND OF A HEILIUM ARC LAMP REFLECTED THROUGH A QUARTZ REFERENCE OPTICAL FLAT • ONE LIGHT BAND = 0. 0000116 INCHES • OR 11. 6 ONE MILLIONTHS OF AN INCH
Optically Flat Faces 100 psi Rotary Face Stationary Face 0 psi
FOR A SEAL TO WORK… FACE LUBRICATION • BOUNDARY LAYER FILM OF LIQUID FILLS PORES AND IMPERFECTIONS. IT IS PROVIDED BY THE LIQUID IN THE STUFFING BOX. • DRY RUNNING OF A PUMP SEAL FOR ONLY A FEW SECONDS MAY DESTROY IT. • UNLESS IT IS DESIGNED THAT WAY!

SEAL BALANCE

BALANCED VS. NON-BALANCED • When speaking of “Balance” in reference to mechanical seals, we are not talking about Mechanical or Rotational Balance. Instead, we are referring to Hydraulic Balance. • Since mechanical seals are subject to stuffing box pressure, this pressure is utilized to achieve and maintain seal face closure in a non-balanced seal. • If stuffing box pressure is very high, typically over 100 psi. , then the closing force may be too great to allow the “Boundary Layer Liquid” that lubricates the faces to be sufficient and the faces will wear prematurely. • A balanced seal compensates for higher pressures by locating the seal faces such that stuffing box pressure has less effect on face closure.
Seal Balance
Face ID Line Face OD Line Balance Line A non-balanced seal has faces located outside the “Balance Diameter” of the seal. Stuffing box pressure is applied to the faces virtually evenly.

Face ID Line Face OD Line Balance Line The faces of a balanced seal are located so that a portion of the face contact occurs inside the balance diameter resulting in reduced closing force due to stuffing box pressure.
