One of the most effective ways to achieve long, uninterrupted mechanical seal life is to create a healthy environment around the seal faces. Here is a checklist of piping best practices to keep in mind as you put your piping plan into practice.
1. Minimize Line Losses
2. Use Large Diameter Tubing
3. Use Only Upward Sloping Lines
(Slope of 40mm/m [0.5 in/ft])
4. Use Long Radius Bends
5. Minimize Component Losses
6. Optimize For Thermosyphon
7. Check Rotation Direction
8. Test For Leaks
