End-suction centrifugal pumps. Dimensions of cavities for mechanical seals and for soft packing
This International Standard specifies the dimensions of the seal cavity for step-balanced mechanical seals, mechanical seals suitable for straight shafts, and for soft packing, to be used with horizontal end-suction centrifugal pumps, including those conforming to ISOÂ 2858. Although applicable to general-purpose and heavy-duty process applications, this International Standard is not intended for use in processes with slurries or with high levels of solids.
This International Standard offers two options:
a range of stuffing boxes suitable for soft packing or mechanical seals for general-purpose duties up to a seal chamber limit of a gauge pressure of 16 bar;
a range of larger cavities suitable for mechanical seals, including cartridge mechanical seals, for general and heavy-duty process applications, up to a seal chamber limit of a gauge pressure of 40 bar.
