Packing
Mechanical seal • Preferred over packing on some applications because of better sealing qualities and longer
serviceability.
• Leakage is eliminated when a seal is properly installed and normal life is much greater than
that of packing on similar applications.
• Pumps containing single mechanical seals normally utilize the pumped liquid to lubricate the
seal faces. This method is preferred when the pumped liquid is neither abrasive nor corrosive.
