**Common Misunderstandings in Pump Mechanical Seal Inspection** 1. **Tighter is Better for the Dynamic Ring Seal**: Many people believe that the tighter the mechanical seal, the better. However, excessive tightness can actually be harmful. It increases friction between the seal ring and the bushing, leading to premature wear and leakage. It also makes it harder for the moving ring to adjust axially, which can cause issues when working conditions change frequently. Additionally, over-tightening may fatigue the spring quickly, causing damage, or even distort the moving ring, reducing its sealing effectiveness. 2. **Tighter is Better for the Static Ring Seal**: While a relatively tight static ring seal may seem beneficial, too much tightness can lead to deformation, affecting the seal’s performance. The static ring is often made of brittle materials like graphite, and applying excessive force can cause it to crack. Moreover, over-tightening makes installation and removal difficult, increasing the risk of damaging the static ring. 3. **More Spring Compression Means Better Sealing**: Some think that more spring compression improves the seal. But if the compression is too high, it can cause rapid wear or even burning of the friction pair. Excessive compression also reduces the spring’s ability to compensate for movement, ultimately leading to seal failure. 4. **Tighter Impeller Lock is Always Better**: A common misconception is that tightening the impeller lock prevents leakage. In reality, inter-shaft leakage can occur due to various reasons—such as faulty seals, misalignment, or debris between components. Over-tightening the lock nut can prematurely damage the inter-shaft pad. Instead, moderate tightening allows the pad to maintain elasticity, ensuring a stable seal during operation. 5. **Repair Is Always Better Than Not Repairing**: When a leak occurs, some rush to repair it without checking the root cause. Sometimes, the seal itself is undamaged, and simply adjusting the working conditions or the seal can resolve the issue. This approach saves time and resources while helping technicians improve their diagnostic skills. 6. **New Seals Are Always Better Than Old Ones**: While new mechanical seals may perform better initially, improper material selection or dimensional inaccuracies can reduce their effectiveness. In certain applications, such as those involving polymerizable media, the static ring may not need replacement if it's still in good condition. After long-term use, the static ring can accumulate deposits that actually enhance the seal.
