Plan 52 Mechanical Seal Guide: Reliable Barrier Fluid Systems

Application Scenarios – Plan 52 Mechanical Seal

Plan 52 seals are widely used in the industry in situations or applications where small quantities of leakage are permitted within a controlled environment. Examples of typical applications are in pharmaceutical processing, food process equipment, chemical transfer pumps, and mixing or centrifuge equipment. Plan 52 seals provide the assurance of a reliable sealing environment while not requiring elaborate pressure equipment. The use of a Plan 52 seal pot allows the operator to observe how the mechanical seals perform over time and to act upon any leaks prior to incurring a loss to production or a safety incident.
