  TAPPI Website - Monitoring mechanical seal performance to reduce fixed costs, Solutions! Online Exclusives, June 2003
A mechanical seal is a spring-loaded device that forms a seal between the rotating and stationary parts of different types of equipment, such as pumps, mixers, or reactors.
The mechanical seal’s purpose is to minimize leakage of fluids and gases.
Double cartridge mechanical seals are mounted separately on the same shaft, outside of the housing, or stuffing box, and provide maximum sealing for potentially hazardous materials, such as slurries, acids, and volatile organic liquids.

  Mechanical Seals
Mechanical seals are being used increasingly on fluid pumps to replace packed glands and lip seals.
The mechanical seal requires a different shaft housing design arrangement compared to that for the other type of seals because the seal is a more complicated arrangement and the mechanical seal does not provide any support to the shaft.
Mechanical seals mounted in pairs are used for sealing hazardous, toxic or abrasiv fluids and are often provided with clean flushing fluid between the seals.

 Mechanical Shaft Seals
While initial cost to purchase a pump with a simple seal may have been higher their were no post installation costs and the return for this investment could be realized immediately with virtually zero product loss over the life of the seal.
Mechanical seals have evolved into a highly engineered science permitting use within virtually any application requiring a centrifugal or positive displacement pump.
To promote maximum seal life, and to meet the most stringent environmental and safety issues, mechanical seals can be fitted with numerous combinations of accessories, auxiliary systems, and safety devices to compliment most applications dramatically reducing the potential for catastrophic venting of the pumpage to atmosphere.

Pressure: The proper type of seal, balanced or unbalanced, is based on the pressure on the seal and on the seal size.
To achieve maximum reliability of a seal application, proper choices of seal housings (standard bore stuffing box, large bore, or large tapered bore seal chamber) and seal environmental controls (CPI and API seal flush plans) must be made.
Introduced in the mid-8o's, enlarged bore seal chambers with increased radial clearance between the mechanical seal and seal chamber wall, provide better circulation of liquid to and from seal faces.
