机械密封 I. overview With the improvement of environmental protection and human health requirements, the leakage of machines is also increasing. Because the leakage of the mechanical seal is small, the sealing is reliable. Therefore, since 1885, the United Kingdom produced the first mechanical seal, mechanical seals are widely used in chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical equipment. At present, 70 to 80% industrial pumps are equipped with mechanical seals. API610 and pumps (Centrifugal Pumps for Petroleum, Heavy Chemical, Gas, Industry, Services) for the petroleum, heavy chemical and natural gas industries require continuous operation of pumps for at least 3 years. This requires the continuous operation of the mechanical seal cycle is also required to reach more than 3 years. Although the mechanical seal technology has developed rapidly in recent years, the continuous improvement of the container type mechanical seal and the continuous application of new materials have greatly increased the sealing life and greatly reduced the leakage. But to satisfy this one is still quite difficult. According to statistics, the sealing caused by the failure of more than 40% of all machine failures. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: first, as the dynamic seal in the pump unit, the working conditions and the role played by it are decided. The two is that many domestic design units and engineering company (including the user) that is sealed with the pump and seal plant, often on the mechanical seal selection parameters, type, structure and principle of piping system and a deep understanding of the work to participate in the mechanical seal, the seal caused by improper selection. In this paper, the selection, parameter, type, structure, standard and test of mechanical seal are introduced from the point of view of selection, and further expounded by selecting examples. Two, mechanical seal selection parameters The selection parameters of mechanical seals are as follows:
