Equipment

Seal support systems are integral to maintaining the efficiency and longevity of pumps and other critical machinery. At Reliability, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier seal support systems designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries. But what exactly are seal support systems, and why are they so crucial?

API Plan 31 is a configuration used for sealing arrangements in pumps and other rotating equipment which process fluids containing supended particles and solids.

In sectors like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and refining, maintaining optimal operational uptime is paramount. The American Petroleum Institute (API) plays a crucial role in setting standardised guidelines to ensure the best practices are followed.

API Plan 23 is a brilliant system for many hot, clean process applications as it is designed to keep the mechanical seal faces cooled and lubricated. However, like many brilliant things in life, Plan 23 can be poorly engineered and misapplied. This report illustrates the Good, Bad and Ugly elements of some API Plan 23 arrangements.
