A W Chesterton Co is introducing a new line of API 682 mechanical seals and systems for centrifugal pumps used in the oil and gas industry.
According to the firm, these seals aim to set a new benchmark for versatility, standardisation and performance.
Many of the critical pump-sealing applications in the oil and gas industry -for example, in refineries and on off-shore platforms -require seals that meet high-performance standards. With fluid sealing requirements ranging from light hydrocarbons to crude oil, sealing versatility and standardisation are also critical. More endusers are looking for alternatives to single-use, engineered sealing systems to promote standardisation and streamline logistical supply.
The company says that it has assembled proven and innovative features into one seal assembly to meet API 682 requirements. Designed to deliver high reliability and emission control performance, the new API seal line combines proven Chesterton technology with extensive research and development qualification testing.
The technology offers a versatile approach to refinery sealing. The A182 single seal is designed to meet tough emissions requirements
