Guideline for installation, startup and maintenance of mechanical seals

Mechanical sealings fit with the needs of all industrial activities such as chemistry,
petrochemical industry, petroleum industry, paper industry, processing
industries, food industries, agrifood industry, textile industry, pharmaceutics...
Mechanical seal is accordingly an essential part of all rotating machinery such as
pumps, compressors, mixers, gasturbine, centrifuges, clarifiers, refiners, reactors...
However, performances given by manufacturers of mechanical seals can be affected
