Diamond seal facing extends life, improves reliability, reduces friction

摘要

Pumps are basic elements of many industrial plants and processes. They also incur major maint- enance, service, and replace- ment costs due to their wiiespread use and rapid wear. Sin e 75% of pump failures are due o the failure of seals and bearings, any advancement that improves seal life and reliability will flow directly to the users bottom line through reduced service and replacement costs. Huhnseal seals are used on submersible pumps and supplied seals for Framo pumps installed in Statoil's Lufeng Field offshore China.
