Instrumentation Used on Mechanical Seals
Instrumentation Used on Mechanical Seals
(OP)
What types of instruments are used on mechanical seals used in pump systems? Are they worth the hassle of installing them and maintaining them?
I would assume that pressure(?) is the parameter we measure? If so, what are we taking the pressure across?

RE: Instrumentation Used on Mechanical Seals
I based my comments on an assumption that you are referring only to instruments which are wired to provide trendable data to a PLC or DCS system or automatically alarm. Almost all seal systems use local instruments (pressure gauges, flow meters, thermometers) to provide information to the operators.
