Average cost for API Plan 53 double mechanical

Hello,

Can anyone help with providing the average price for API Plan 53 double mechanical seal.

RE: Average cost for API Plan 53 double mechanical

There are two many variables: seal size, metalurgy, etc.  Are you asking for the seal alone are are you asking about the support system piping, etc. Just the seal could be anywhwere between $500 and $20,000 (US).

Thank you JJPellin.

Give the average price of the seal alone, I mean pressurized double mechanical seal similar to Plan 53.

Otherwise, I will appreciate if you can provide the total cost of the seal including support piping, reservoir etc.

RE: Average cost for API Plan 53 double mechanical

I am sorry.  I can't answer your question.  You should contact a mechanical seal manufacturer and give them some "average" conditions such as seal size, service, metalurgy, etc.  As I intended to say above, there are far too many variable to give a reasonable answer.

RE: Average cost for API Plan 53 double mechanical

Check out the Fluid Sealing Association web site.  There is a pretty good Life Cycle Cost generator that will help you compare unpressurized wet and dry seals as well as pressurized wet and dry seals.
