✦ Synopsis
Seal range launched at Offshore North Sea exhibition
John Crane chose the Offshore North Sea (ONS) exhibition, which was held recently in Stavanger, Norway as the venue for the official launch of its 8600 Series of high-performance seals.
Designed to satisfy the requirements of today's offshore oil and gas operators that work with increasing pipeline pressures in deeper and deeper water locations, the seals making up the 8600 Series deliver significant and quantifiable improvements in both operational efficiency and financial profitability, claims the company.
The company says that it researched the performance of existing high duty mechanical seals for over two years before developing the new technology required to create the 8600 seals. The result is a range of seals that has good total life-cycle reliability, maximum tolerance to -and recovery from -process changes and reverse pressure running, and also the facility for high pressure dry running in remote locations.
The seals offer increased resistance to hang-up and distortion, even when used in deeper wells, and can handle operating pressures up to 200 bar. This makes them suitable for a very wide range of main oil-line and related water applications.
The 8600 Series uses composite face materials that were originally developed for the aerospace industry.
