The APIC-2023 is a multi-spring single Plan 23 stationary cartridge seal with hydraulic balanced seal faces. The innovative design has springs out of the process media, therefore excellent for viscous or corrosive process applications.
The seal design comes with integral inboard restriction bush which helps to isolate the process media in the seal chamber, reducing the "work rate requirement" of the plan 23 system and system cooling. This innovative seal design has stainless steel wetted parts and is offered with a highly efficient bi-directional pumping ring that conforms and exceeds the requirements of the API682 standard for pumping ring radial clearances.
The APIC-2023 stationary pusher single cartridge seal has Monolithic seal faces which are ideal for high temperature sealing and O-Ring secondary seals which can be supplied in a range of materials to suit the application.
The mechanical seal comes with Multi-Springs, Set Screw Drive and 1/2" NPT Plan 23 FI (IN) and Plan 23 FO (OUT) port connections.
Importantly, the seal has a directed plan 23 flow path, ensuring cool fluid is delivered to the seal faces for optimum seal face longevity.
The seal also has an outboard 'floating' restriction bush, as well as Vent (V) and Drain (D) connections which can be employed for Plan 62 quench to drain systems, or seal leakage monitoring. The seal comes factory assembled and tested.
SUPPLY OPTIONS:
- Exotic Alloy wetted parts such Duplex and Super Duplex are available for processing corrosive process media.
This seal incorporates best practice features and innovation as detailed in our technical blogs and white papers.
** Apply "industry standard" Pressure, Speed and Temperature de-rating factors, by shaft size and application. The safe seal performance characteristics are typical characteristics for each variable in isolation. The individual upper limit values of each variable should NOT be used in multiple combinations of Speed, Pressure and Temperature. Contact our Technical Sales Department for further details.
