Features

California Residents: PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Seal life extended by full seal face lubrication at low leakage levels.
Combines a series of structures on one of the seal ring components.
The inlet structure generates a strong hydrodynamic pressure force, separating the faces with a reliable fluid film.
Unique return structures return the interface fluid to the sealed fluid, significantly reducing leakage to atmosphere.
Designed to comply with API 682.
Computer optimized design provides reliability with vapor pressure margins beyond the scope of API682 applications.
Dimensionally, the seal is interchangeable with other Type 48 seals.
