Mechanical seals

[Dileepsai]

Hi all,
I am a trainee at an EPC company.
I am working on pumps and had a doubt on mechanical seals.
I assume mechanical seals are for shaft sealing systems. Please help me out finding difference between mechanical seal and seal flushing and categories in it.

There's many more like that to explain. Also look at some vendor sites.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
