Michael B. Huebner is a Staff Engineerinthe Flow Solutions Division ofFlowserve Corporation, in Deer Park,Texas. He has more than 20 years experi-ence in the design of MECHANICAL SEALS ,centrifugal and positive displacementpumps, and fluid conditioning Flowserve, he has served in design,testing, and application functions in boththe and Huebner received his degree(Engineering Technology) from Texas A&M University. He is amember of the International Pump Users Symposium AdvisoryCommittee and the API 682 Task SEALS are used throughout industry to minimize oreliminate leakage in centrifugal pumps, mixers, and other rotatingequipment. The ability of a MECHANICAL seal to meet its performanceobjectives depends upon a wide range of factors involving equipmentdesign, operating conditions, and support systems.
of soft carbon graphite powder to hard friction pads. Mechanical carbons used in seal faces are a mixture of amorphous carbon and graphite. The percentages of each help determine the physical properties on the final grade of carbon. In addition to carbon, other elements and compounds are present that affect the properties of the grade of carbon.
