Important Note:
All the technical references are based on
extensive tests and our many years of
experience. The diversity of possible
applications means, that they can serve
as guide values only. No guarantee can
be given for a specific case unless the
exact conditions of application are know
to use and confirmed in a special agreement. For particularly critical conditions
of operation, e. g. involving a mixture of
products, we recommend you consult
with our specialist engineers. It should be
noted that the maximum values of each
operating parameter cannot be applied at
the same time. Subject to change.

Seal selection by
Media
Seal selection and
material recommendation by media.
The recommendations in the media tables on pages 7 to 24 are based on the
typical case of a seal for a horizontal
centrifugal pump. Other types of machine,
installation conditions, modes of operation, designers, manufacturers and operators specifications, local regulations
and so on can result in a different choice
of mechanical seal.
For complex sealing duties it is always
advisable for the user to consult with our
specialist engineer.

Explanations to columns 1 to 16:
Designations of materials to be sealed

comply as far as possible with IUPAC
rules (IUPAC = International Union of

material has several commonly used designations and common names, it is listed
in accordance with IUPAC rules with
cross-referencing of its other names.
Designations are listed in alphabetical
order.
Single mechanical seal arrangement
In the case of double or tandem mechanical seals, the recommendation applies to

the mechanical seal inboard. The choice
of the outboard seal is dictated by the
buffer/-quench medium.
1 = Mechanical seal having O-ring secondary seals; unbalanced or balanced;
rotating spring in contact with the product, e. g. M3N, M7N, H7N
2 = Mechanical seal having O-ring
secondary seals; unbalanced or balanced; rotating springs not in contact with
the product, e. g. HJ ...
3 = Mechanical seal having O-ring
secondary seals; unbalanced or balanced; stationary springs not in contact
with the product, e. g. HR ...
4 = Same as 3 but no metal parts in
the product; e. g. HR31/dH G9

Column 10:
Hazard warnings and reasons
for recommending a double
mechanical seal or quench.
When compiling these seal selections
and material recommendations, it was
generally assumed that the machine in
question is located in a sheltered building
frequented occasionally or continually by
persons coming into contact with liquid or
vapour leakage of medium from all types
of sealing points. As such, considerations
of health and environmental protection
had a strong bearing on the choice of
seal category.
Health hazard and Ignition/Explosion
can lose much of their significance if the
machine is installed in the open or in
areas rarely frequented by people and
ringed with warning signs. If no mention

is made to either of the reasons 1 to 5 for
recommending a double mechanical seal
or a single mechanical seal with quench,
it is acceptable to use a single mechanical seal.
The decision in favour of a single mechanical seal must be taken by the user
of the machine or the contractor. As he is
the only one to know all conditions and
regulations relating to the process and to
assess the risks.
Toxic for reproduction: Substances and

preparations which, if they are inhaled or
ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may
produce, or increase the incidence of,
non-heritable adverse effects in the progeny and/or an impairment of male or female reproductive functions or capacity.
Labelling of media with a toxic effect for
reproduction:
R 60: May impair fertility
R 62: Possible risk of impaired fertility
R 63: Possible risk of harm to the unborn
child
F = Highly flammable.
Media which may become hot
and finally catch fire in contact
with air at ambient temperature without
any application of energy, or solid media
which may readily catch fire after brief
contact with a source of ignition and
which continue to burn or to be consumed
after removal of the source of ignition, or
liquid media having a very low flash-point,
or media which, in contact with water or
damp air, evolve extremely flammable gases in dangerous quantities.
Letters in column 10:

Health hazard warnings
Technical grounds and environmental protection
T = Toxic.
Media which in low quantities
cause death or acute or chronic damage to health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin.
1 = Vapour pressure/gas
At normal working temperatures, the
medium has a vapour pressure of >1
bar. If the working temperature lies below boiling point (column 15) or if the
sealing pressure lies clearly above the
vapour pressure, a single mechanical
seal may be used with consideration of
the duty details.
F+ = Extremely flammable.
Liquid media having an extremely low
flash-point and a low boiling-point and gaseous media which are flammable in
contact with air at ambient temperature
and pressure
T+ = Very toxic.
Media which in very low quantities cause
death or acute or chronic damage to
health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin.
Xn = Harmful.
Media which may cause death
or acute or chronic damage to
health when inhaled, swallowed or absorbed via the skin.
Xi = Irritant.
Non-corrosive media which,
through immediate, prolonged
or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, may cause inflammation.
C = Corrosive.
Media which may, on contact with living
tissues, destroy them.
Carcinogenic: Substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or ingested
or if they penetrate the skin, may induce
cancer or increase its incidence.
Mutagenic: Substances and preparations
which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if
they penetrate the skin, may induce heritable genetic defects or increase their incidence.
Labelling of media with carcinogenic or
mutagenic effect:
R 40: Limited evidence of a carcinogenic
effect
R 45: May cause cancer
R 46: May cause heritable genetic damage
R 49: May cause cancer by inhalation
2 = Corrosion
The medium attacks all standard metals.
Mechanical seals with no metal parts on
product side must therefore be used.
3 = Exclusion of air
If the medium contacts or mixes with the
atmosphere, it forms an explosive or
reacts with a damaging effect on the
environment, the medium itself and the
machine and mechanical seal.
4 = Lubricating properties
Under normal conditions, the medium has
such poor lubricity that a single mechanical seal is at risk from dry running.
5 = Icing
Normally the medium is conveyed at
temperature below 0 C. Without auxiliary equipment, the proper functioning
of a single mechanical seal is at risk
from freezing atmospheric moisture.
6 = Leakage
Absorbed and/or flushed away by the
quench, or prevented by a double
mechanical seal necessary.
Burgmann
Media
Column 8:
Mechanical seal type
O = Oxidizing.
Media which give rise to a highly exothermic reaction in
contact with other substances, particularly flammable substances.
E = Explosive.
Solid, liquid, pasty or gelatinous media which may also
react exothermically without atmospheric
oxygen thereby quickly evolving gases,
and which, under defined test conditions,
detonate, quickly deflagrate or upon heating explode when partially confined.
N = Dangerous
for the environment.
Media which, when they enter
the environment, would or could present
an immediate or delayed danger for one
or more components of the environment.
(The hazard symbols are according to the
EU directive 67/548/EEC, Classification,
packaging and labelling of dangerous
substances of June 1967, status April
2004)
U = Insufficient information
The medium designation is imprecise or
the available information on the medium
is insufficient to assess the serviceability
of a single mechanical seal. Please notify
us of your experiences.

* According to the current level of
knowledge, the action of this substance
constitutes a distinct carcinogenic hazard for humans. No concentration values are given for this substance in the
list because it is still impossible to quote any concentration as being safe.
With some of these substances, there
is even a great risk from absorption
through healthy skin. If the use of such
substances is unavoidable for technical
reasons, special safety and monitoring
measures must be taken.
The seal selection takes account of
the TLV as follows:
TLV <5 ppm or *: Use of a double
mechanical seal is generally recommended, but see paragraphs 2 + 3 of
the introductory note on column 10.
pa = viscous
This column contains the following
notes on aspects of sealing:
ga requires a double mechanical seal
in most cases. If the pressure to be
sealed lies distinctly above the vapour
pressure at working temperature, a single mechanical seal with or without
quench can be used under certain circumstances.
fl indicates the use of single mechanical seal, but other influencing factors
such as the working temperature (vapour pressure at pumping temperature,
health hazard, risk of explosion or corrosion can necessitate a tandem or
double mechanical seal.
fe, kr indicates that the medium must
be molten (e. g. sulphur, DMT), dissolved (e. g. salts) or suspended (e. g. limestone or gypsum in water), otherwise it cannot be pumped or stirred.
TLV 5, 25 ppm: A double mechanical seal or a single mechanical

seal with quench is recommended. If
column 10 contains no further grounds
other than health hazard for choosing
a tandem or double mechanical seal, a
single mechanical seal can be used,
provided other measures rule out all
risks to humans.
Column 13:
Melting point
Column 15:
Density
(= Fusion point F) in C
If there are unequal values for the solidifying point (setting temperature) and
the melting point (liquefying temperature), or different values or modifications,
the higher value is always quoted. For
some mixtures of media, solidification
ranges or pour points are quoted. With
fusion points above room temperature
and/or working temperatures close to
fusion point, it is necessary to check
(with due consideration of the other
operating conditions such as intermittent mode, full stand-by pump) whether
the machine or at least the seal housing requires heating.
For media that are liquid or solid under

normal conditions, the density is quoted
where known in g/cm3 at 20 C.
Different reference temperatures are indicated.
For gases there is only an indication
whether they are heavier than air (+)
or lighter than air (). This is also a
pointer to their behaviour in the event
of leakage: sinking, rising or self-dissolving.
Additional signs:
K ...: Crystallisation at temperatures
below ... C
S ...: Sublimation at ... C
If there is an additional %-figure, the
quoted temperature applies to the ... %
aqueous solution.
Column 14:
Boiling point
Boiling point of the medium in C under normal pressure (1.013 bar). Different reference pressures are marked. If
the working temperature is close to or
above boiling point, the seal selection
and material recommendation must be
checked.
Additional signs:
A ...: The azeotrope boils at ... C
Z ...: Decomposition at ... C
(...): Reference pressure in mbar
If there is an additional %-figure, the
quoted temperature applies to the ... %
aqueous solution.

Double seals to EN 12756

EN specifies single seals in a back-toback arrangement. It is possible, therefore, to choose from the following combinations:
unbalanced/unbalanced
(e. g. M7N/M7N)
balanced/balanced (e. g. H7N/H7N)
unbalanced/balanced (e. g. M7N/
H7N). Please consult the single-seal
tables for dimensions.

For plain shafts, rotating spring
MG9
of direction
Elastomer bellows
The MG9 is (US Patent No. 6,220,601)
designed for medium-range pressures
and loads. Within its operating limits it
can be put to universal use in pumps
thanks to the following attributes:
for all fitting lengths only one bellows
unit for each size of diameter
length compensation by means of a
conical spring of required length, with
single easy-to-fit clamp-type connector
no need to change existing pump
installation spaces
smallest external diameter of all bellows seals on the world market
no torsion on bellows and spring
no adhesive joints
self-centering conical spring (supported directly on the shaft collar without
an additional washer)
technical approval issued by a topname, global pump manufacturer
compact, unsplit bellows unit with stationary seal face for reliable installation and operation (deposits between
the bellows and the seal face are impossible, ruling out all risk of misalignment)
Item Part No.

bellows
Elastomer
Mechanical seals of the MG series are

amongst the most commonly used. The
bellows is not subjected to any torsional
stress and its ingenious design incorporates several functions, as seal face carrier, secondary sealing element and drive
collar. The seal face is driven through the
spring and L-rings. There are no bonded
joints and all the face materials are interchangeable without having to modify any
dimensions. Highly recommended for duties with media containing solids eg. in
waste water and sewage applications.
Stationary seats

bellows
Roller bellows seals in the MF95N series

have a very wide field of application and
are particularly ideal for pumps in the
waste water sector, the chemical industry,
refineries and any areas needing to meet
sterile requirements such as in the pharmaceutical and food industries. These
seals are rugged and insensitive to solids
in the medium. The combination of highly
resistant materials and standardized
dimensions offers great potential for standardization projects.

MF95N mechanical seals have no

dynamic O-ring and are therefore insensitive to deposits on the shaft. The flexibility of the bellows does not deteriorate in
any way, ensuring that the sealing gap
remains closed.
The seal face carrier has an amplitude
limiter to guarantee trouble-free and
smooth running (important when there is
any risk of dry running).
A favourable bellows geometry prevents the cavities becoming clogged by
media containing solids. An open structure and smooth surface enables easy cleaning if necessary.
The bellows has very good spring characteristics. Its longitudinal weld seam
has no negative impact. Axial pressure is
evenly distributed by the roller bellows,
guaranteeing reliable adaptation of the
sliding face even when there are axial
deflections.

Mechanical seals in the MFL series have
a universal field of application. They are
designed for extreme ranges of temperature and for high-viscosity media. There is
no dynamic O-ring and therefore a bellows seal will never hang-up. (See page
65 for details of the MFL65 stationary
bellows seal.)

Mechanical seals of the H12N series

are a cost effective version of a balanced seal. They feature the same rugged
and reliable construction as the unbalanced spring seals (see M3 pages 28
and 29) in the Burgmann range. These
seals are primarily used in the chemical
sector and in water pumps.

The H7N mechanical seal range is designed for universal application and the
interchangeable parts concept is ideal for
stock rationalisation. The seal faces are
loosley inserted and can be easily exchanged, the thrust ring is retained by the
drive lugs preventing the springs falling
out. New: H7N with Super-Sinus spring
(see page 143).

The standard H7N range only features

can be combined with the stationary seat
G115 specifically for hot water application
(cooling of the seat). Example of description: H75G 115/d1 (vg = 20 m/s max.).

Semi-split
Balanced

seal
Single
Semi-split mechanical seals are used if

there is a sufficient axial clearance to
pull off the seal housing and seat housings until the sliding parts are accessible. i.e. only the wearing parts proper,
such as the seal face and stationary
seat as well as O-rings are split. The
seal face and stationary seat, springs
and O-rings can thus be replaced without requiring complete disassembly.
Springs are arranged to be protected
from the medium. The split stationary
seat can be used in either side.

If the sealing compartment

does not leave sufficient
space axially for mounting or
replacing a seal, if no quickchanging devices are available, or if a pump is operated
without standby, mounting or
dismountying a mechanical
seal in case of an inspection
or repair may cause expensive downtimes. Whether they
are used e. g. in turbines of
hydroelectric plants, in pumps
of seawater desalination
plants, in stern tubes, gears,
defibrators or cooling water
pumps: split seal housings or
components can help you to
save costs.
2) For disassembly of unsplit seal faces,

seats and O-ring these should be broken
or cut.

Mechanical seals of the HR series are

special-purpose seals for use in media
containing solids without external flushing or product circulation. Key features
are a rotating seat positioned immediately next to the pump impeller and a spring
protection sleeve which has proven to be
effective in actual service. HR mechanical seals find application mainly in the
scrubbing sections of power station flue
gas desulphurization systems, and they
are also used successfully in the paper
industry.

Mechanical seals of the HRC series were

developed specially for use in standard
chemical pumps. The radial and axial
space has been optimized to provide ideal
conditions for maximum operational reliability. The ingenious modular system allows the HRC to be adapted for a wide
range of applications which enhances the
opportunities for your pumps. Perfect for
standardization purposes.

Technical advantages
Quick and easy to fit:

With Unitex, you reduce
assembly costs and avoid
assembly errors
No changes to existing pump
installation spaces
Very good value for money: Unitex
is the lots for little cartridge seal
Extensive range in stock, with
metric and inch dimensions
The bellows seal used has received
the technical certification from major
global pump manufacturers
All units have a flushing connection
according to API Plan 11 for cleaning
and cooling the sealing chamber
The bellows and spring are free from

torsional stress, for a long service life
(positive application of force to the
seal face via the L-ring)
No adhesive-bonded connections
Compact, one-part bellows unit with
a fixed seal face for reliable operation
(no deposits can collect between the
bellows and seal face, so misalignment
is not possible)
Precise centering between the cover
and seal unit achieved by to use of
four mounting fixtures
Large clearance between the cover,
stuffing box chamber and seal to
assist self-cleaning and cooling of
the stuffing box chamber
Very thick flange for highly rigid cover
to protect against misalignment
(bowing) when the cover is bolted
onto the pump housing, thereby
avoiding gasket leaks

Double seal, double pressure balanced (the seal remains closed in case of barrier fluid pressure failure or reverse pressure); integrated circulation system eliminates the need for an
additional circulating device.
If used as a double seal, a barrier fluid system will be required (e.g. Burgmann TS 2000 - both seals are always internally pressurized). In tandem operation, the buffer fluid is, depending on operating conditions, used in dead-end (API 682,
Plan 51) or open flow mode (API 682, Plan 52 or 54 - inboard
seal externally pressurized).

Mtex is a special type of cartridge seal for

pumps and applications in which temperature plays an important role, e.g. in refineries and the petrochemical industry. Be
it for the conversion of packings, retrofits
or original equipment, the Mtex concept is
ideal for standardization projects. It fits in
any centrifugal pump with a conventional
stuffing box (generally without having to
modify any dimensions). The bellows unit
has an amplitude limiter to guarantee
trouble-free running (important when
there is any risk of dry running).
Single seal for liquid quench. Cover with

outboard shaft seal and supply connection for flush A and quench B

Double seal, inboard rotating metal bellows, outboard stationary O-ring seal.
With pumping device independent of
the direction of rotation, cover with supply connections for buffer medium or
quench and inboard flush.
Pressurized operation (Plan 53 or 54)
requires a buffer system (e.g. Burgmann TS2000). In pressureless mode
the quench fluid can be used as either a
dead-end quench (Plan 51) or a throughflow quench (Plan 52), depending on the
operating conditions.
Missing mounting dimensions are the
same as for Mtex-QN.

Multipoint injection
Optimized assembly fixtures
Variable installation
Optimum sliding face cooling through

multipoint injection. Uniform radial feeding of the cooling medium (distributed
over 360) to the sliding faces prevents
thermally induced and irregular distortions. The mechanical seal runs with high
stability and low leakage. Multipoint
injection has proven successful at extreme temperatures.
Optional for Mtex-QN and -TN.
Retrofitting is also possible.
The exact factory-end adjustment of the

seal with regard to the bellows (spring)
tension and in relation to the cover
is 100 % secure until final attachment to
the shaft and pump housing:
Thanks to an additional venting hole

the Mtex-DN can also be installed in
a 90 offset position. The connections
for the buffer fluid are then horizontal
the buffer fluid are then horizontal and
easier to reach in cramped conditions
in the pump latern.
No installation errors; mounting fully

compressed is impossible
Assembly fixtures can be removed
easily and quickly from any mounting
position

Mechanical seals in the SH range were
developed for applications involving high
pressures and sliding velocities. The
deformation behavior of this latest generation of seals has been optimized on the
basis of extensive FE analyses. The largely standardized inside components are
matched to the respective pump installation spaces by means of special adapters.
Currently, static pressures of up to 500
barg and dynamic pressures of up to 150
barg can be sealed. The sliding face
materials are generally carbon graphite/SiC or SiC/SiC.
Please contact us for details of dimensions.

The stationary mechanical seal for EN

installation spaces is ideal for use
in dirty, abrasive media containing solids, e.g. in waste water systems and
the chemicals industry. The stationary
part has multiple springs and faces
away from the product. It is thus protected from possible effects of the medium such as sticking and clogging.
The seal is suitable for pressure reversals and can be operated in tandem as
well as back-to-back arrangements. In
vacuum mode there is no need for a separate stationary seat stop. No dynamically loaded O-ring on the shaft
means there is no loading of the secondary seal by run-out caused by bending
of the shaft. Distributed torque input
and stationary seat locking by square
pin.

Gas-lubricated Seals.
Running dry
as if greased.
Unmatched for their efficiency and
high degree of safety and environmental protection. To be used in
almost any industrial sector and
field of application.
Until only recently,
use of the gas seal
was limited more
or less to compressors. Today it can
be variously used
to seal machines of the most diverse
types:
Liquid-conveying pumps, e. g. for media
containing solids or for media with poor
lubricating properties, such as hydrocarbons.
as a downstream
safety seal.
for low-speed
shafts in mixers
and reactors in
the chemical and
pharmaceutical industries where sterility
is required, or when leakage of buffer
fluid into the product must be prevented
(so-called dry-running applications).
Burgmann GS technology is also able to
meet the requirements of the German
Clean Air Act as well as demands for
zero emission, and
to a very profitable
degree:
Lower investment
costs are matched
by a longer service
life and lower operating expenses.
The operating principle

Gas in
Rotation
Ressure field
V-grooves
The V-grooves convey the gas by a rotary
movement between the sliding faces. The
resulting pressure rise causes the seal
faces to lift off and ensures a contactfree operation. V-grooves are dependent
on the direction of rotation.

In its basic design and mode of operation, the Burgmann Gas Seal is the same
as a conventional mechanical seal except
for two differences: a) the sliding faces
are wider, and b) they are lubricated by
gas rather than liquid.
This is assured in outstanding manner
by the sophisticated geometry of V and U
grooves in the sliding faces. Even at low
speeds a stable gas film develops in the
sealing gap to separate the sliding faces
and guarantee non-contacting, wear-free
operation, at a minimum level of power
consumption that is 95 % below that of
liquid-lubricated seals.
Elaborate buffer fluid oil systems for the
lubrication and cooling of double seals
are superfluous. Gas pressurization at a
level of around 5 to 10 % above product
pressure (p1) makes sure that no process
medium can escape to the atmosphere.
A small gap height of approximately
3 m between the sliding faces results
in minimum consumption of buffer gas of
a magnitude that depends largely on the
pressure, speed and seal diameter.
Gas in
Rotation
U-grooves
For sliding faces featuring U-grooves, the
operating principle is similar to that for
V-grooves, with one decisive difference:
the direction of rotation is independent.

Main functions of a GSS:

Filtering of buffer and flushing gas
Pressure monitoring and regulation
Flow monitoring
Leakage control and discharge
Gas Seals
Buffered, gas-lubricated seals may only

be used in conjunction with adequately
pressurized buffer gas (for example from
a closed circular nitrogen pipeline), and
the buffer gas pressure level p3 must be
higher than the pressure level p1 of the
sealed product, irrespective of which operating state the machine is in. The minimum pressure overlay level (p) is specified for the individual seal types.
Gas Supply Systems of the GSS series
were specially developed for contact-free
operated, gas-lubricated mechanical
seals. The gas drawn from a supply network (e.g. air or nitrogen) is regulated
and monitored by the GSS in accordance
with the requirements of the seals to be
supplied. GSS systems are equipped with
alarm and switch-off points in line with
safety regulations. Values can be monitored centrally on request. As a rule, every
GSS system is individually designed to
take account of the specific application
parameters. This applies in particular to
gas supply systems needed to operate
DGS compressor seals.

Degassing
For processes where no buffer gas, e.g.
N2, may enter the product, degassing is
possible (DGM No. 296007072, US
Patent No. 5722671). The leakage gas
enters an annular chamber which is
arranged on the product side of a double gas seal and is equipped with a
pumping means. The medium mixed with
the leakage gas flows from this chamber
into a separating receptacle where the
medium collects below and the leakage
gas in the top area. From the lower part
of the receptacle, the degassed medium
then returns to the process while the
separated gas can be removed from the
upper part.

The Burgmann AGSZ, a result of constant
development, is a gas-lubricated agitator
seal for steel and glass-lined agitator vessels with top entry drives and connections
to DIN or customer specifications.
It is suited for use in all applications in
the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and food technology where highest
product purity is required and where the
entry of buffer fluid and seal abrasion is
undesirable.
The centrical, rotating seat made of solid
silicon carbide (SiC) and the wide sliding
surfaces provide for high gas-film stability and maximum operational reliability
with minimum gas leakage.

Seal supply system

All it takes to operate the AGSZ/AGSR is
a simple connection to the gas network
(or cylinder) with an upstream gas supply and control system. We recommend
using the Burgmann GSS4012/A200-D0
gas supply system with alarm FIAH, FIAL
and PIAL, together with two flow meters
for a large measuring range. The required
minimum pressure difference is 3 bar.
Reliable operation of the agitator gas seal
is guaranteed by static lifting of the sliding faces. Before starting the machine,
the required pressure difference of 3 bar
has to be ensured.

Gas-lubricated
Gas-lubricated seals of the DGS series
were developed specially for sealing
turbo compressors. They are distinguished by broad sliding faces and threedimensional U or V grooves in the rotating seat.
Combination of face materials: silicon
carbide against silicon carbide with diamond-like carbon coating featuring excellent emergency running properties. The
DGS offers a range of technical and economical advantages: low investment and
operating costs, a low level of power consumption, high safety in operation and
long service life, low leakage rates, no oil
contamination of the product and, last
but not least, an increase of the compressor's efficiency.

Application: Where product leakages to

the atmosphere are recognized as safe,
e.g. with air, nitrogen or CO2 compressors.
Labyrinth to the gas side and CSR radial
clearance seal to the bearing side are
optional. This version is used as an emission-free arrangement with a corresponding flare/vent connection. Primary leakage is then discharged with the separating
gas to the flare/vent.
In the case of dirty gases the gas to be
sealed has to be filtered in addition and
conveyed to the seal chamber via
connection "A". The resulting current
from the sealing compartment prevents
impurities reaching the seal.
Application: Where small product leakages of process gas are admissible, e.g.
on gas pipeline compressors.
Seal on the atmosphere side acting as a
safety seal.
The tandem arrangement provides a particularly high degree of operational
safety. The seal on the product side and
the seal on the atmosphere side are able
to absorb the complete pressure differential. In normal operating conditions the
full pressure is reduced only by the seal
on the product side.

The space between the seal on the product side and the seal on the atmosphere side is cleared by a connection "B" to
the flare. The pressure differential to be
sealed by the seal on the atmosphere
side equals the flare pressure, so the
leakage to the atmosphere side or to the
vent is very low. If the main seal fails, the
second seal acts as a safety seal.

the atmosphere as well as buffer gas leakages to the product are inadmissible,
e. g. on H2, ethylene or propylene compressors.
With this version the product pressure

to be sealed is reduced via the seal on
the product side. The entire process gas
leakage is discharged via connection "B"
to the flare. The seal on the atmosphere
side is pressurized with buffer gas (nitrogen or air) via connection "C". The pressure of the buffer gas ensures that a current flows via the labyrinth to the flare
outlet.

found mainly in the petrochemical industry, e.g. on HC gas compressors.

A buffer gas, e.g. nitrogen, is fed between the seals via connection "C" at a
higher pressure than the product pressure. One part of the buffer gas leakage
escapes to the atmosphere side and the
other part to the product.

Elastomer-free
PDGS / TDGS
PDGS
TDGS
Elastomer-free, gas-lubricated compressor seal for high pressure and low

pressure applications. The secondary
sealing elements specially developed by
Burgmann for this purpose are particularly effective in terms of automatic alignment and resistance to extrusion, temperature and chemicals. The operational
reliability of the PDGS is accordingly very
high.
Available as a single, tandem and double
seal of cartridge design.
Elastomer-free, gas-lubricated metal

bellows seal for single-stage steam
turbines. The TDGS impresses with its
wear-free operation and extremely low
leakage rates.
Special features
no explosive decompression due to
the use of a special PTFE compound
controlled sliding forces prevent "catching" of the dynamic secondary seal;

CSR
CSE
Gas-lubricated radial clearance seal

for compressors, gas turbines and other
gas-conveying machines.The aerodynamic CSR consists of a segmented carbon
graphite ring with a circumferential
spring. Pockets worked into the inner
face produce a radial lifting force, automatically resulting in a concentric gap
of a few micrometers. In standstill mode
the seal and the shaft are in contact with
each other and have a good static sealing effect.
Aerostatic radial clearance seal, independent of direction of rotation, supplied as a

pre-assembled unit. It is used at a sliding
velocity of less than 10 m/s and a dewpoint below 50 C. The aerostatic CSE
differs from the aerodynamic CSR in that
its operating clearance is made to match
the operating temperature anticipated in
each application. It works free of contact,
with a fixed clearance that is automatically adopted in accordance with the operating temperature. Gas consumption of the
CSE is determined for each application.
Features
Contact-free operation with aero-dynamic groove pattern.
Reduced gas consumption due to an
extremely narrow gap.
Segmented high duty salt-impregnated
Electrographite Carbon ring.
High start/stop wear resistance due to
hard faced running surface such as,
Tungsten Carbide.
Comes as a ready-to-fit cartridge unit.

SMS
Seal Management System
Today, more than 80% of all process
machines in turbo compressor construction are equipped with gas seal systems
comprising a gas-lubricated seal and a
control system. The seal is buffered with
clean inert gas to ensure reliable operation. Volumes of leaking gas are monitored, regulated and discharged in a controlled manner to ensure the seals correct and efficient operation. The complete Burgmann sealing system comprises
of the DGS dry gas seal and the SMS. For
economical reasons a standard SMS is
available which can be easily adapted to
meet customers requirements.
The SMS performs the following functions:
Clean gas module:
Supply of flushing gas
Buffer gas module:
Supply of buffer gas
Leakage module:
Monitoring of leakage
Separation gas module:
Monitoring of buffer seal

disposal. To prevent bearing oil from contaminating the gas seal, a further nitrogen or air buffer ("separating gas") is
provided between the bearing and the
gas seal.
Operating principle
To prevent soiling of the sliding faces,
gas is drawn from a higher pressure
stage of the compressor, is filtered and
injected onto the gas seal as clean "flushing gas". The leakage from the first gas
seal stage is discharged to the flare for

The dry-running single seal needs no
quench and no supply system because
there is no need to monitor the pressure
and temperature in the areas of application in question.
The rotating spring-loaded part is positioned on the atmosphere side. The
grade of carbon used in the seal face is
FDA-conform and any loss of material
through abrasion is harmless. For use in
pharmaceutical applications the seal can
be equipped on request with a rinsable
and washable collecting cup for possible
abraded particles.
An integrated clamping mechanism provides a non-positive connection with the
shaft and ensures a robust torque input.
The SeccoMix is balanced and designed for pressure reversal. On the one
hand this guarantees optimum frictional
values of the sliding faces, on the other
hand it ensures that the seal always remains closed in case of pressure fluctuations over the complete range of application.
Atex conformity on request.

Vessel seals of the M461 range are factory assembled and tested cartridge
units ready for fitting in special applications on glass-lined vessels to DIN
28136. The fitting dimensions of the
mounting flange are in accordance with
DIN 28137 Part 2. The sleeve dimensions comply with shaft details given in
DIN 28159. All parts exposed to the
product are of non-metallic construction. Torque transmission (acc. to DIN
only by clamp connections) and additional options (with the exception of
leakage drain) conform to the code

These seals are designed to be self-closing on the product side, i.e. they will
remain closed even with pressure variations or a pressure reversal.
Operation optional as single seal (p1 max
= 6 bar or pmax = 6 bar at p1 > p3.
In view of the mechanical seal on the
atmosphere side, it can be used as a
buffer pressurized double seal (p1 max
= 16 bar).
A ceramic intermediate sleeve is provided on the product side. This enables a
pressure test of the seal cartridge to be
made before assembly.
Due to the specific configuration of the
seal flange, the seal can be lifted off
the glass-lined flange ring as a complete
cartridge. The sensitive glass lined flange
remains mounted on the vessel. This
avoid any damaging of the glass lined
surface.
Agitator seals of the 461 series are also
available as gas-lubricated versions for
DIN connections (AGSZ 461 K-D, AGSZ
461 KL-D). See page 68 and page 76.

Agitator seals of the MR-D range are
ideal for applications involving sticky,
pasty and dry media. They have been
used successfully for many years already
to seal all kinds of mixers, dryers, mills,
mills, masticators and reactors in the plastic, paint, food and pharmaceutical industries.
The inboard seal features a rotating seat
with a smooth profile without crevices
where product can lodge and cause contamination. A special version is suitable
for large axial shaft movements (up to
500 mm) and shaft deflections (please
enquire).

Seal
Supply systems
In some cases, for mechanical
seals to function correctly the
conditions in which they operate
must be altered. This depends on
the seal type, the duty conditions
including environmental protection, and the type of equipment
into which the seals are fitted.
A simple change to a single seal's
operating conditions in a dead-end
arrangement can be made, for
instance, by adding a recirculation
line from the pump discharge to
the seal chamber (API Plan 1).
Circulation
For single seals it is generally advisable
to install a circulation pipe from the discharge nozzle of the pump to the seal
chamber. A pipe size G 1/4 is normally
sufficient. There should be a close fitting
neck bush between the pump casing and
the seal chamber.
Flushing
Flushing systems are installed in accordance with ISO 5199, Appendix E, Plan
No. 08a or API 682, Appendix D, Plan
32. A clean and mostly cold external
medium is injected into the stuffing box
in the area of the sliding faces via on orifice (throttle) into the medium to be sealed. Flushing is used either to lower the
temperature or to prevent deposits forming in the area of the mechanical seal.
Again it is recommanded that a close fitting neck bush is employed.
As operational demands increase, so too must the capabilities of

the supply units to support the
mechanical seal.
The following section contains the
necessary information for the
correct selection of supply systems and auxiliary equipment to
ensure reliable operation of your
mechanical seals.

Manual

To guarantee the correct working of double mechanical seals, the buffer interspace (between the product side and the
atmosphere side of the mechanical seal)
must be completely filled with clean buffer medium.
Before starting up double mechanical
seals it is vital, therefore, to ensure a sufficient rate of circulation of the buffer
fluid The buffer fluid pressure should lie
10 % or at least 1.5 to 2 bar above the
maximum pressure to be sealed. The flow
rate must be controlled to ensure that the
temperature of the buffer medium at the
outlet lies below approximately 60 C and
that it does not exceed boiling point
under any circumstances. The maximum
acceptable inlet/outlet temperature differential is 15 K. The buffer fluid outlet lies
at the highest point of the stuffing box for
automatic venting of any vapour.
In view of the basic conditions of operation, a buffer system must perform the
following functions:
Build-up pressure in the buffer inter
space
Compensation of leakage
Circulation of the buffer medium
Cooling of the buffer medium
Cooling of the seal
Buffer fluid systems for liquid-lubricated
mechanical seals break down into two
basic categories:
Nitrogen
Open circuit
A circuit in which both the circulation and
the pressurization take place through a
single buffer fluid system (e.g. SPA).
After each circuit the buffer fluid is relieved and collected in a pressureless tank.
Standard cm3 gas/g solvent
Fluid quench
Absorption or removal of leakage by
the quench medium
Monitoring of the mechanical seal's
leakage rate by periodic measurement of
the level of the quench medium in the circulation vessel or thermosyphon vessel
Lubrication and cooling of the standby
mechanical seal
Exclusion of air: For media which react
with atmospheric oxygen the queching
medium stops the leakage making
contact with the atmosphere
Protection against dry running: For
applications subject to brief, periods of
vacuum and operation of pumps without
pumping liquid (submersible pumps) the
quenching medium prevents dry running
of the mechanical seal
Stabilization of the lubrication film: For
operation under vacuum and/or sealing
pressures close to the vapour pressure,
the quenching medium stabilizes the
lubrication film

Quench is the term commonly used in

sealing engineering for an arrangement
that applies a pressureless external medium (fluid, vapour, gas) to a mechanical
seal's faces on the atmosphere side. A
quench is used on the one hand when a
single mechanical seal does not function
at all or only within certain limits without
auxiliary measures or when a double mechanical seal with pressurized buffer
medium is unnecessary. When an integral
stationary seat stop is fitted, the quench
pressure should not exceed 1 bar. A
quench performs at least one of the
duties described below.

In this type of circuit all the components

(SPN). Pressure loss in the circuit must
be taken into account when drawing up

Volumetric expansion [cm3/l]
The buffer medium fulfills two functions

it dissipates the heat generated by the
seal and it prevents the product from
penetrating the sealing gap to any appreciable degree. Any liquid and any gas can
be chosen as buffer medium, with due
consideration to the corrosion resistance
of the parts it comes into contact with
and to its compatibility with the process
medium and surroundings. The buffer
medium must not contain any solids. It is
particularly important that liquid buffer
media do not tend to precipitate and that
they have a high boiling point, a high specific thermal capacity and good thermal
conductivity. Clean, demineralised water
satisfies these requirements to a high
degree.
Hydraulic oil is often used in buffer fluid
units and water in closed buffer fluid circuits.
To prevent damage to the TS and sealing
system, due allowance must be made for
the coefficients of volumetric expansion
of the buffer fluids used.

Quenching fluid system
QFT
Quenching fluid systems are used
to supply single or tandem
mechanical seals. They act as a
convenient fluid reservoir. The
exchange of fluid takes place by
the thermosiphon principle or by
forced circulation, e. g. with a
pumping screw. Quenching fluid
systems are employed:
to absorb leakage
to monitor the leakage rate
(e. g. through periodic reading of
the level in the tank)
to lubricate and to cool the outboard mechanical seal in a tandem arrangement

to prevent icing
to protect against dry running
to stabilize the lubricating film
to exclude air from the media
in order to prevent a reaction with
oxygen in the air.

Thermosiphon system
TS1000
With the Burgmann TS system it
is possible to supply buffer fluid
to double and tandem seal arrangements for a broad range of
applications. The buffer fluid
flows via the rising pipe into the
vessel and is cooled. Particularly
with natural circulation, the level
should always be higher than the
rising pipe to maintain the circulation and to provide the specified cooling capacity.
Connection pipes to the seal
should be designed with as little
resistance as possible. Use compressed air or nitrogen for pressurization.
TS vessels are equipped as

standard with all the necessary
connections and brackets. System components (see pages
106 / 107) can be installed to suit
new requirements or seal retrofits at a later date.
The vessel is used for the storage, pressure maintenance and
cooling of buffer fluid in a sealing
circuit. Design and production
according to EU Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23 EG).

The Burgmann TS 3016/A001

thermosiphon system presents a
simple and quick way to clean
the vessel interior. For this purpose it is designed for easy dismantling. A quick-release coupling should be used to connect
the pressure gas to the vessel.
To clean the inside of the vessel
you simply have to open the
union nut, disconnect the gas
supply and the level switch, and
lift off the vessel case. There is
no need to dismantle the seal
connections, cooling water connections or base. Two sight-glas-

Supply system for sterile operation
TS3000
Thermosiphon systems of the TS
3000 range are designed specially for the operation and supply
of mechanical seals in sterile
processes. In addition to performing the four basic functions of
a buffer system, the TS 3000
can also be used to make condensate, provided it is connected
up to a steam line.
Sterilization
After the agitator drive and the
cooling water supply are switched off, the condensate drain
valve (2.4) is opened until steam
emerges (the steam forces the
entire condensate out of the TS
system and the seal circuit). For

the duration of the sterilization
cycle (approx. 30 minutes), the
shut-off valve (2.3) is closed
just enough to make most of the
steam flow via the seal.
Making condensate
At the end of the sterilization
cycle, valve 2.4 is closed, valve
2.3 is fully opened, and the cooling water supply is switched on
again condensate will be
made. The level switch (3) responds when the TS vessel is full.
The agitator can be started up
again.

additional components. It is used
for the storage, pressure maintenance and cooling of buffer fluid
in the sealing circuit. Pressurization is monitored by a pressure
switch. The incorporated level
switch issues a signal whenever
the level of buffer fluid is too

With the Burgmann DRU system

it is possible to supply buffer
fluid to double and tandem seals
for a broad range of applications.
The function of the DRU-system
is similar to the TS-system. The
difference is the pressure booster is creating the buffer pressure without a nitrogen supply.
Pres-sure boosters are equipped
as standard with all the necessary connections and brackets.
System components (see pages

maintains constant buffer pressure
irrespective of hysteresis-induced pressure fluctuations.
Should the pump be switched off, the
buffer fluid pressure will be maintained
for a limited time by an accumulator.
Several outputs available for setting different buffer fluid pressures (please
enquire).
Automatic refill units of the SPN range
differ from an SPA in that they perform
just two of the four functions of a buffer
fluid system, namely buffer fluid pressurization and leakage compensation. It is
possible to use pneumatic or electric
power or a combination of both for the
pressurization (piston pump).
Separate components are installed in the
seal buffer circuit to cool and to circulate

Heat exchangers
Heat exchangers of the WED range are
used to cool buffer fluids in seal supply
circuits. Designed as a tubular heat
exchanger, the WED is outstanding for
its high cooling capacity yet compact
dimensions. Design, production and material selection conform with the German Pressure Vessel Regulations and
with the AD Code. Quality assured.
Features
The buffer medium is directed
through the jacket and the cooling water through the tubes.
The heat exchanger can be installed
either in horizontal or vertical position.
It is possible to clean the cooling
water area (mechanically after removing the cover) and the buffer medium
area (by flushing with a suitable solvent).

Heat exchanger (air cooler)
These heat exchanges are made of finned tubes without gaps for cooling buffer fluids in seal circuits. The cooling
medium is ambient air. It is important,
therefore, for WEL heat exchangers to
be installed in well ventilated places indoors or, ideally, outdoors. Vertical installation is essential. Design, material
selection and testing in accordance
with the German Pressure Vessel Regulations and the AD Code.

Cyclone separator for high flow
rates and high pressures
Cyclone separators of the ZY range are
used to clean mainly aqueous liquids
containing dirt and solids (e.g. in circulations of sewage, sludge, crude etc.).
The best possible filtration efficiency is
achieved when the specific weight of
the solids is much higher than that of
the carrier liquid, and when the differential pressure is as large as possible
within the pressure range. The viscosity
of the medium is also a factor that
needs to be taken into account.

DHE
VTE
Pressure accumulator unit
Distributor unit
This is used to maintain the buffer fluid

pressure for a limited period after the
SPA circulating pump has failed or
been switched off. It prevents a loss of
pressure on the mechanical seal and
stops it from opening. The seal, however, is no longer cooled and must
therefore be brought to an immediate
stop. How long the pressure is maintained will depend on the following two
actors: The rate of leakage of the
mechanical seal and the amount of buffer fluid stored in the accumulator.
The DHE accumulator comes with a
pressure gauge with shut-off valve, and
a check valve.
The DHE can also be retrofitted to an
SPA which is not equipped with this
device. (Conversion kit drawing No.
DHE140/R001-00).
DRE

of 0 ... 25, 0 ... 60, 0 ... 100 and 0 ...

A component for when two or more

Assumed modes of operation: Single seals according to API 682, Plan 01, 11,

cooled, according to API 682, Plan 21, 22, 23, 32, 41, 53 or 54. Tandem seals
according to Plan 52 or 53. In this case the temperature of the medium can be
raised by around 10 to 15 K.
Explanation: A double seal or a cooled single seal must be used if the pressure and temperature curves intersect to the right of the sliding velocity; use a
single seal if the point of intersection lies to the left.

Multiphase technology
With multiphase technology it is possible
to pump the oil-gas-water mixture called
"multiphase" from the well, compress it
and then convey it over long distances
without previous separation. Multiphase
pumps may be used to pump mixtures
with a gas content of up to 98 %. This
technology is mainly used for wells with
a low inherent pressure. Extraction is
increased, and even wells closed due to
insufficient inherent pressure can produce oil again at a profitable level.
On a production platform of the Amoco Trinidad Oil Company, a Bornemann multiphase pump type MPC 208-67 has been working for over 6,000 hours under the most
adverse conditions. Seal: Burgmann SHV3/80.

solution: SiC/SiC combination of face
materials with HS grooves, flushing of the
spring compartment, multipoint injection
and a baffle to prevent a gas ring forming
in the area of the sliding faces (API 682,

Coal gasification
There were times, particularly during the oil-crisis
years, when coal gasification centred on the process of hydrogenation, e. g. to produce motor fuels.
Nowadays the driving force behind its further development is the generation of electricity by combination-type power stations with integrated coal
gasification. Here the main objectives are to lower
CO2 emissions, to raise fuel efficiency and to
stretch existing resources. Burgmann has considerable experience at its disposal for this highly demanding technology, for Burgmann mechanical
seals and buffer fluid systems have been used in
all the coal gasification processes implemented in
Coal gasification

increase efficiency the plant had to be

at 30 bar according to a new concept.
The previously used lip seals on PTFE
basis were unsuited, so were replaced
by the AGS1/220 developed specially
for this application; it proved so successful that further systems of this type
were ordered.

to seal the boiler and type HSH-D3/60
to seal a hollow shaft for taking samples; Lurgi process), the necessary
hydraulic system (SPA) and further supply units for the seals (SPN, DHE), and

Refinery
The processing of crude oil in refineries is a complex, multi-stage
process in which crude oil is transformed into refined, high-quality
end products or feed materials for
the petrochemical industry. Sealing
technology for this area faces spe-
cial challenges in various respects:

Risk of insufficient lubrication and
dry running due to volatile material
constituents and low boiling points,
media with a diversity of physical
properties (from liquefied gas to
bitumen), high and low tempera-
ture ranges, and the handling of

hazardous substances (harmful,
polluting and potentially explosive)
are all conditions which need to be
controlled with absolute reliability.

Cooling water for the stationary seat cooling system

The frictional heat generated by the seal faces is dissipated by cooling of the type
G115 stationary seat. Inlet temperature of the cooling water: 30 C max.
Example: p1 = 25 bar; Dw = 60 mm; n = 1,500 min1; t = 120 C
Cooling water rate: Q = 5.2 l/min
HTS Hot water sealing without cooling

No environmental pollution and a higher efficiency of operation for hotwater pumps are major arguments in favour of using the uncooled HTS
sealing system, quite apart from its various technical advantages.
Heat exchanger
WED
Without cooling water means no supply

system and none of the elaborate pipework, controls or treatment equipment
which go with it. You have no heat loss
and no cooling arrangements. Temperature levels are therefore negligible,
which in turn makes for a higher level
of operational reliability.

Notes on installation
For mechanical seals with a cooling system to function properly
the stuffing box and the pump housing must be separated by a close clearence neck bush between the shaft/
shaft sleeve and the pump casing in
front of the seal
the heat transfer from the hot pump
body to the stuffing box must be prevented by jacket cooling and an appropriate design of the shaft sleeve
the seal cooling circuit must be correctly installed and the heat exchanger
must be of adequate size. Allowance
must be made for correct venting. Turbulence losses inside the mechanical
seal chamber must be taken into account along with production of heat in
the sealing gap.
The system
If the operating point (see seal selection diagram) of the medium to be sealed lies close to the vapour curve, the
pressure in the seal chamber is raised

by a controlled amount. Vaporization of
the medium in the sealing gap is prevented, and so is the risk of dry running. Through the special seal chamber
design and improvement to the pumpinternal circulation, a large enough differential over the vapour pressure is
maintained under all operating conditions, without the sliding faces being
loaded with unduly high pressure.

Feed pumps
Sealing systems featuring maximum operational reliability, convenient

Sliding velocities in power station feed pumps can be as high as 60 m/s,
so more often than not the only way to satisfy these demands is with special designs.

Flue gas desulphurization

Modern coal-fired power stations are equipped nowadays with flue gas
desulphurization plants. The scrubbing systems used by these plants
work with a desulphurizing efficiency of better than 95 %. In preparing
the absorption medium, lime or limestone and water are mixed to form a
suspension which is fed continually into the scrubber washing solution
circuit. Sulphur dioxide and flue-dust in the flue gas become attached to
the drops of washing solution and are removed from the flue gas exhaust.
The media to be sealed (absorber liquid,
sulphite and sulphate solution, filtrate,
lime slurry, etc.) are usually highly corrosive and laden with solids (grain sizes
< 1 m ... 200 m), lie between 4 and
10 in the pH scale, and have a chloride
content of between 10,000 and 30,000
ppm (rising to 100,000 ppm in concentrators). All the materials used are therefore highly resistant to wear and corrosion.
More than 2,500 seals from the Burgmann HR series (d1 = 20 ... 250 mm)
have been installed in Germany and

neighbouring countries since 1985 to
seal pumps for flue gas desulphurization
plants (Allweiler, Dchting, Friedrichsfeld, Habermann, Halberg, KSB, Netzsch,
Seeberger, Sulzer, Warmann, Wernert).
Many of the original mechanical seals,
e.g. those in the flue gas desulphurization plant run by Bremen Utilities, have had
a useful life of more than 20,000 hours.

running will thus be prevented. Example
arrangements are shown to the right.

Wood is the most
important raw material
for the pulp and paper
industry. It is either
digested to chemical pulp
in digesters or reduced to
mechanical pulp in grinders
or
refiners.
The
pulp produced this way is

then graded, bleached and washed,
and conveyed to the paper machine. There it passes through
the various stages, such as headbox, wire part, press section,
drying section and reeling section.

Pressure grinder (Metso) for producing ground wood. By increasing the

pressure the pulp structure can be loosened gently, increasing simultaneously the
temperature and the degree of moisture.
Today most pressure grinders are equipped, therefore, with double seals.

Material recycling must be a priority aim

of every modern, economically orientated
industrial society. In no other sector has
the collection and re-use of second-hand
materials attained such significance as in
the paper industry.
A useful life of 3 years continuous operation without recondition-ing is the norm.

Deinking (flotation principle)

(see picture above)
Pulp pumps and graders in the Deinking
plant of Stora Enso Werke are sealed
with Burgmann type HR10 seals (in
dead-end arrangement). Flushing with
circuit water (return water) is carried out
only when the medium has an excessively high solids content. The face material combination is SiC/SiC.
(d1 = 46 ... 130 mm; p1 = 2 mWS;
t = 60 C; n = 980 min1;
medium = pulp [0,2 ... 5 % abs. dry] with
a high content of air.)
e r
At Stora Enso, Burgmann

HR10 seals without external
flushing are used in pulp
pumps (Sulzer) for densities
up to 5 % abs. dry.
Also in operation there are pumps
(Voith Paper, Andritz, ABS, Goulds) fitted
with Burgmann HJ 977, LP, MG 12 seals
for densities up to 4 % abs. dry and operating predominantly with pump-internal
circulation or white/black water system.

Digesting and bleaching plant
In view of the chemicals used in this area
and the governing environmental provisions, Pumps are equipped with double
seals. At PWA Kehlheim, for example,
around 40 pumps (Allweiler) have been
equipped successfully with type M7N
seals in back-to-back arrangement.
Pulpers
Woodpulp is disintegrated in additional
water to form a pulp suspension capable
of being pumped. The rotor shaft/through
interface is sealed with double and single
arrangements. The face material combination on the product side of the
Burgmann seal is carbide/carbide. Pulp
density is approx. 4 to 8 % abs. dry.
LP-D double seal in

dead-end operation
Burgmann LP seals are used in a diversity of applications in the paper and pulp
industry (pumps, agitators, pulp dissolvers, shredders, etc.). Huge volumes
of water are consumed wherever double
seals are required. However, the buffer
water-saving method of operation of the
specially designed LP-D in dead-end
arrangement means that up to 2,600 m3
of water and sealing area (e. g. d1 = 50
mm) can be saved. Further savings are
enabled because buffer systems and
water treatment are no longer necessary.
For a smoother and glossier finish, the

paper leaving a papermaking machine is
conveyed to a calender. Any irregularities
in the paper are leveled out by the combination of an assortment of rolls in the calender, heat and high line pressures.
Burgmann type MFLW80 S1/475 mechanical seals are used to seal off from the
atmosphere the oil that serves to heat the
rolls and lubricate the bearings. These
seals are running successfully in, for
example, rolls built by Voith Paper,
Kleinewefers and Ksters.

Waste w
Sewage works
Municipal and industrial sewage is conveyed by waste water
pumps into collection tanks at
the sewage works. Raw sludge
from the settling basins is then
pumped into digestion towers
where it is circulated by socalled digested sludge pumps
through heat exchangers. The
methane gas released during
the digestion process is used
for heating purposes, as is the
sewage sludge itself to an ever
greater degree.
Sewage works pumps are
usually operated with single
seals in either a dead-end
arrangement (conical) seal
chamber or with product circulation or external flushing
(cylindrical seal chamber).
Depending on the requirements, the following seals have
proven successful: MG 1,
HJ 977 GN, MFL 85 N, HR.

Submersible pumps
The building industry makes intensive use
of submersible pumps because of their
mobility. Thanks to their liquid- tight and
pressure-proof design they are equally
popular in waste water systems. Pumping
capacities of up to 5,000 m3/h and pumping heads up to 70 m are possible with
these pumps.
Particularly in buildings pits, the pumping
medium consists of dirty water severely
contaminated with sand and stones. The
solids content is often as high as 50%,
with particles of up to 30 mm in diameter
and with soft items such as rags, paper
and so on.

cleanliness, health and general
legislation. These in
clude for example:
Materials which are compatible with food

Smooth and abrasion-proof surfaces which are
easy to clean Complete units which can be

ISO 21048, Annex D. Contrary to the earlier arrangement, no details such as the
face and O-ring materials used are included in the designation. Such details are
now to be found only in the seal data
sheet.
The following rule applies for seal
codes with four or more digits.
1st digit Seal Category
Here a C is used followed by the corresponding category number 1, 2 or 3 to
which the seal belongs.
2nd digit Arrangement
Here an A is used followed by the number 1, 2, or 3 according to the seal
arrangement applied.
3rd digit Seal Type
Here the letter A, B or C is used according to the seal in question.
4th digit and other Supply System

In practice k values are selected between

0.65 and 1.2. With a lower k value, the
safety against thermal overload will
increase, but the mechanical seal may
also lift off more easily.
I) O-ring seal
Seal and Material Code to API 682 / ISO 21049
II) metal bellows seal
Unlike an O-ring seal, the hydraulic diameter of a bellows seal is not a fixed geometric value. It is conditional an the absolute level of the pressure to be sealed
and on the direction of pressurization
(internal or external pressure).

The balance ratio is just a non-dimensional factor used to assess a mechanical

seal. A second one is the load factor .
=k+
pf pr
p
The balance ratio and the load factor are

practically identical when the pressure
differentials to be sealed are large. The
friction at the dynamic secondary seals pr
is usually disregarded in the calculation.
Sliding pressure pG
The term sliding pressure is understood
to be the surface pressure on the two
sealing faces which remains after subtracting all those forces that act on the
seal face and which are balanced by
hydraulic pressures. The sliding pressure
is conditional on the pressure differential
to be sealed, the balance ratio, the pressure conditions inside the sealing gap i.e.
gap between the seal faces (pressure
gradient factor) and the spring pressure.
The pressure gradient factor k1 can assume values between 0 and 1, depending
on the geometry of the two sealing faces.
For sealing gap geometries which converge in leakage direction V-gap for
externally pressurized seals the value
of k1 is > 0.5, while for sealing gap geometries which diverge in leakage direction A-gap for externally pressurized
seals the value of k1 < 0.5. For simplified calculations the value of k1 is generally taken to be 0.5. Under unfavourable
conditions the sliding pressure can become negative, causing the sealing faces to
open resulting in excessive leakage.
The coefficient of friction f is conditional

on the materials that are in contact, the
medium being sealed, the sliding velocity
and the design-related conditions of
contact between the sliding faces.
For general considerations and calculations (see following sections), a coefficient
of friction of between 0.05 and 0.08 can
be applied as a good approximation. As
can be seen in the graph, a lower value
is obtained under improved conditions of
lubrication, e.g. due to partial build-up of
hydrodynamic pressure in the sealing
gap. On the other hand, when a mechanical seal is run under purely hydrodynamic conditions of operation, the coefficient of friction will rise as the speed
increases similar to hydrodynamic bearings.
Gap width h
Seals with contacting faces
In contact seals with a theoretically parallel sealing gap, the distance between
the two sealing faces is conditional on
the roughness of the surfaces.
Numerous measurements taken in the
laboratory and in practice with due allowance for external factors indicate that a
mean gap width of less than 1 mm can
be used as a basis for calculating the
normal degree of leakage.
Seals with non-contacting faces
Hydrostatically or hydrodynamically balanced, non-contacting mechanical seals
adjust automatically to a defined gap
width during operation. The width of the
gap depends mainly on the shape of the
gap in radial as well as circumferential
direction, on the operating conditions and
on the medium.

Cooling water
requirements
When estimating the amount of cooling
water required by heat exchangers it can
be assumed that the temperature of the
cooling water will increase by 5 K between the inlet and the outlet. This means
that 1 l/min of cooling water dissipates
350 W.
The total power consumption of a mechanical seal has to be dissipated into the
medium or the buffer fluid by means of
Burgmann
The total power consumption of a mechanical seal is calculated from

The power consumed by the sliding

The turbulence-related consumption of

power is not significant until the circumferential speed reaches 30 m/s. It must

Leakage rate Q
Calculated rates of leakage and power
losses are not guaranteed values. They
are statistical and calculated mean
values which are determined on the basis
of experience and extensive testing. The
leakage rates and power losses which
actually arise in a particular seal can be
several times higher on account of factors that are impossible to quantify theoretically. As can be seen from formula,
the leakage rate is mainly conditional on
the actual gap width during operation.
This depends in turn on many factors
(see the section on Gap width).

Pumping screws are used to boost the

circulation of coolant for single and
double mechnical seals.
The direction of flow, delivery head and
delivery rate can be adapted to the given
operating conditions by suitable design
measures.
Pumping screws are dependent on the
direction of rotation. An F in the
drawing number stands for a pumping
screw. It follows after the type code.
The optimum arrangement is afforded by
the contra-rotating pumping screw
where the thread of the stationary screw
(pumping sleeve) faces in opposite direction to the rotating thread (pumping
screw).

We wish to draw attention to the
installation and operating instructions which are available for the
various sealing systems. The information in the following sections is
intended as no more than a general
guideline.
Axial run-out

Axial run-out depends on the speed.
Permissible values are indicated by the

Surface finish

Extrusion characteristics
of elastomeric O-rings
The extrusion resistance of elastomeric
O-rings can be greatly enhanced by the
use of support rings.
Prior to installation
Pressure differential (bar)
To fit a seal you will need its installation

and operating instructions with the correct drawing. Before starting, check the
dimensions, the maximum acceptable
deviations and the geometrical tolerances of the machine.
Dimensional deviations
Acceptable deviations for dimensions
having no tolerance specification:
ISO 2768
Part 1, fine/medium for linear and angular dimensions
Part 2, tolerance class K for general
geometrical tolerances
Concentricity tolerance
Shaft in accordance with
ISO 5199
In the area of the mechanical seal the
shaft concentricity tolerance must not exceed 50 m for diameters < 50 mm
50 m, 80 m for diameters between 50
and 100 m, and 110 m for diameters
> 100 mm.
Seal chamber bore

For sliding velocities of vg < 25 m/s the
concentricity tolerance of the seal chamber in relation to the shaft should not exceed 0.2 mm, and when pumping screws
are used it should not exceed 0.1 mm due
to the effect of the pumping characteristic. If these values are exceeded please
contact Burgmann.

Installation
Absolute cleanliness and care are
essential when fitting mechanical seals.
Dirt and damage to sliding faces and Orings jeopardize a seals function. Any
protective covering on the sliding faces
must be removed without trace. Never put
lubricant on the sliding faces - mount only in a completely dry, dustfree and clean
state. The accompanying installation instructions and the notes on the assembly
drawings must be observed exactly.
Screw locking
Series MFL
If no special provision is made for locking

screw threads, use set screws with a suitable adhesive (e.g. Loctite) after removing any grease.
Series MG
Never over-compress metal bellows seals.

Apply the axial mounting force needed to
push the seal onto the shaft via the bellows drive collar.
Fitting advice
To reduce the friction an O-rings when
mounting seals on a shaft or when inserting seal cartridges in their housing, apply
a thin coating of silicon grease or oil to the
shaft or housing (N.B.: this does not
apply to elastomer bellows seals). Never
allow EP rubber O-rings to come into contact with mineral oil or grease. When
inserting stationary seats, be careful to
apply even pressure and use only water or
alcohol to reduce O-ring friction.
Use normal or soapy water (with a surfactant) to mount elastomer bellows seals of
the MG series on the shaft. Wet the seal
seat and the shaft thoroughly and keep
wet if the distance to slide the seal is rather long. Never use oil or grease! After
completing the assembly, check that the
rings, springs and seal face sit correctly
and tight.
Points to note when using Statotherm

moulded rings (MFL WT80):
Install moulded rings (Item 1 and 2) in
the dry state only and compress in axial
direction only (radial deformation would
result in their destruction).
Apply even pressure to insert the
moulded ring (Item 2) and the stationary
seat (Item 3) in the recess (concentricity
tolerance!).
Tighten the screws (Item 4) in the rotating part gradually and in circular succession (not cross-wise) in several steps,
keeping the gap as even as possible.
All edges and shoulders onto or into

which the mechanical seal is pushed during installation must be chamfered, deburred and rounded off to less than
30 x 2 mm.
Permissible tolerance (mm)

Venting
To prevent damage to the sliding faces
from dry running, the buffer space must
be carefully vented after you have
installed the seal. This is particularly
important for those types of buffer fluid
systems that do not vent themselves or
are partially self venting (double seal with
buffer fluid systems).

Temperature
Types of drive
When a conical spring is used for driving

the seal (e.g. in standard types M2 and
M3), the mechanical seal becomes
dependent on the direction of rotation. Looking toward the sliding face of
the rotating parts of the seal, shafts rotating in clockwise direction require righthand springs and shafts rotating in anticlockwise direction require left-hand
springs. Mounting the conical spring is
easier if you twist it onto the shaft with a
screwing action in the same direction as
the spring coiling. This screwing action
will cause the spring to open. For brief reversals of the direction of rotation we recommend seal type S30.

For a seal to function properly, the shaft

torque must be transmitted uniformly to
the shaft sleeve and/or rotating parts under all operating conditions. Depending
on the seal design it is necessary to make
allowance for centrifugal and axial forces
and in some case to observe special installation instructions. Incorrect fitting
can cause, for example, jamming and deformation of the seal.
sel Code orders that pressure vessels be

built and operated in accordance with the
generally valid rules of engineering (such
as the German AD Code).
AD Bulletin W2 requires every pressure-bearing part made of austenitic steel to
be accompanied by a material certificate
EN 10204 3.1 B or 3.1 C.
The manufacturer must subject every
pressure vessel to a pressure test.
Every pressure vessel must be issued
with a certificate confirming its correct
production and pressure testing in accordance with the Pressure Vessel Code.
This certificate is included with the
delivery.

are subjected to elastic deformation only,
so the original clearance is restored once
the screws are released.
Provided the conical surfaces are undamaged, the shrink disks can be retensioned any number of times (ensure correct lubrication). Shaft sleeves should not
have a clearence diameter under the
shrink disk and should make full contact
with the shaft.

Research and Development

Private "backroom" developments which subsequently
become huge successes have become a rarity nowadays.
The focus is firmly on finding and creating interdisciplinary
solutions and meeting customer requirements, and the
foundation for achieving these objectives lies in sound basic
knowledge, a wealth of experience and, above all, the possibility to convert ideas into reality - from the test phase
right through to readiness for series production. We maintain close collaboration in terms of research, development,
experimentation and testing with our customers, suppliers,
research institutes and university institutions to ensure successful completion of the tasks we are set. This also involves converting the results of pure research into useful
technology within the framework of publicly sponsored
development projects.
With 840 m2 of floor space, our Mechanical Seals R&D
unit's new center contains a large number of test facilities
designed to help meet the above objectives. The following
data shows their extensive operational scope:
Research & Development
Shaft diameters up to 500 mm

Sliding velocities up to 200 m/s
Rotational speeds of up to 40,000 min1
Pressures from 0.01 to 400 bar

The prerequisites for optimal functioning of mechanical seals

include a dimensionally stable sealing gap. In many cases this
means optimizing the form of seal components during the
design phase in order to minimize deformation caused by pressure and temperature. To this end our design calculation
engineers use the very latest finite element programs.
Mathematical considerations are also called for where the optimal design of components for supply systems and accessories
is concerned, e.g. heat exchangers, thermosiphon vessels or
flow-related elements. Documented strength verification in line
with the respective standards also has to be supplied for pressure vessels. The design calculation staff also update and look
after the further development of the CASS Expert System for
selecting mechanical seals.
