We stock complete cartridge and component seals for all ANSI and API pumps, and maintain over $250,000 of seal related inventory. JCI’s seals specialist has 60+ years of experience, including seal application design & recommendation, seal failure analysis, and complete seal repair and installation.
Flowserve heritage product lines include BW/IP, Pacific Wietz, Durametallic, Five Star, and Pac-Seal. BW/IP was engineered API type seal, Pacific Wietz the gas seals came from, Durametallic and Five Star were the ANSI market seals and the Pac-Seal are for the OEM market.
Seal Resources
PSS 4 Split Seal
The Flowserve PSS 4 is the next generation split seal that is ideal for increasing production capacity through reduced equipment downtime. This split seal is easy to install and is a unitized component, semi-cartridge design that installs around the shaft, outside the seal chamber with the pump or mixer fully assembled. No setting dimensions or measurements are required.
Key features:
Split mechanical seal for pumps & agitator
Semi-cartridge split seal for non-hazardous liquid services
Split seal installation reduces equipment downtime
Design features enable first installation success and solid long-term performance
Pressure capability of 300 psi with excursions to 450 psi satisfies most industrial pump services
Pre-engineered for a wide range of equipment
See the following instructional video on the proper installation procedures for the PSS4 split seal:
Flowserve Diamond Seal Face Coating:
REDUCE Operating Cost by 90% without reducing reliability
Difficult Applications for a simplicity of a Single Seal:
Dry running services
Abrasive particles
Contaminated processes
Low lubricity fluids
Mix of Gas & Liquids (due to vertical orientation, upstream agitation or poor venting)
Eliminate or Reduce Expensive External Components:
External flush fluid
External cooling
Barrier fluid systems
In the past, external clean, cool fluid was used to lubricate seal faces or dual seals operating on clean barrier fluid. Now, the solution is to use Diamond Coated Silicon Carbide Faced Seal (UNCD) and let the process fluid itself lubricate the seal even with challenging applications.
Benefits include:
Lowest friction seal face for cool running
Maximum abrasion resistance
Highest chemical resistance
High wear resistance
Use the “challenging” process fluid to lubricate the seal without damage
Retrofit into most seal services without modification to seal or pump
