High temperature gear pump due to corrosion easily lead to mechanical seal failure

High temperature gear pump due to corrosion caused by mechanical seal failure:

a) Sealing surface pitting, or even penetrated.

b) Due to the tungsten carbide ring and stainless steel seat and other welding, the use of stainless steel seat easy to produce intergranular corrosion;

c) Welded metal bellows, springs, etc., are prone to rupture under the combined effect of stress and dielectric corrosion.

Mechanical seal failure due to high temperature effect:

a) Hot cracking is the most common failure phenomenon of high temperature gear oil pump, such as residue pump, refueling oil pump, atmospheric vacuum tower bottom pump, etc. Because of the dry friction in the sealing surface, the cooling water suddenly breaks down, the impurities enter the sealing surface, Case, will lead to radial cracks appear on the torus;

b) Graphitization Carbonization is one of the major causes of seal failure when using carbon-graphite rings. In use, if the graphite ring once exceeded the permissible temperature (usually -105 ~ 250 ℃), the surface of the resin will precipitate, friction near the surface of the resin will occur carbonization, when there is a binder, it will foam softening, So that the sealing surface leakage increases, the seal failure;

c) Auxiliary seal (such as fluorine rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, all rubber) will exceed the permissible temperature, it will quickly age, crack, harden the missiles. Now use flexible graphite high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance than Good, but its resilience is poor. And easy to brittle, easy to damage during installation.

Seal failure due to wear of seal face:

a) The materials used by the friction pair are poor in wear resistance, large in friction coefficient and excessive in surface pressure (including spring pressure), which will shorten the service life of the mechanical seal. Commonly used materials, according to the order of wear resistance: silicon carbide - carbon graphite, cemented carbide - carbon graphite, ceramic - carbon graphite, painted ceramic - carbon graphite, silicon nitride ceramic - carbon graphite, high-speed steel - Carbon graphite, hardfacing surfacing - Carbon graphite.

b) For solid particles containing medium, the sealing surface into the solid particles is the main reason leading to seal failure Solid particles into the friction side of the surface from the role of abrasive, the seal severe wear and failure. Reasonable sealing surface clearance, as well as the degree of mechanical seal balance, as well as the sealing end of the liquid film flashing are the main open end to open the solid particles into the main reason.

c) The degree of mechanical seal balance β also affects seal wear. Under normal circumstances, the balance of β = about 75% of the most appropriate. β <75%, although the wear loss decreases, but the leakage increases, the possibility of opening the sealing surface increases.For high load (high PV) mechanical seal, due to the larger end friction heat, β generally take 65% to 70% Is suitable for low boiling point hydrocarbon medium, etc., due to the temperature of the gasification of the medium is more sensitive to reduce the frictional heat, β take 80% to 85% is better.

Mechanical seal leaks due to errors in installation, operation, or equipment:

1, due to poor installation, resulting in mechanical seal leakage mainly in the following areas:

1) moving, static contact surface uneven, bump when installed, damaged;

2) moving, static ring seal size is wrong, damaged or not compressed;

3) moving, stationary ring surface foreign body;

4) moving, static ring V-ring installed in the opposite direction, or install the anti-edge;

5) Leakage at the sleeve, seals are not installed or pressing force is not enough;

6) uneven spring force, single spring is not vertical, multiple springs vary in length;

7) sealed chamber end face and shaft perpendicularity is not enough;

8) There is a corrosion point on the shaft seal ring.

2, equipment in operation, the main reasons for mechanical seal leakage:

1) the axial displacement of the gear pump impeller exceeds the standard, the shaft vibration occurs periodically and the process operation is not stable, the pressure in the sealed chamber often changes will lead to periodic leakage seal;

2) friction pair damage or deformation can not run together to cause leakage;

3) improper choice of sealing material, swelling bullet;

4) big spring steering wrong;

5) Vibration is too great when the equipment is running;

6) moving, static ring and the shaft between the formation of scale so that spring shells can not compensate for the sealing surface wear;

7) Crack ring and so on.

High Strength Steel Tie Rod

High strength steel tie rod are steel structural members made of carbon structural steel and alloy steel, processed by machining, heat treatment and surface anti-corrosion treatment, supplemented by adjusting sleeves, lock and joints etc. The steel tie rod are important components of steel structures for construction of giant, large span buildings and ship docks. They are mainly used for prestressed parts and large span buildings in construction projects. While the strength of the product is improved, but the plasticity index is not reduced, which satisfies the principle of using the same amount of strength in the architectural design. The tie rods, tie bars, tension rods and tension bars steel grades are specified as grade 460, grade 520, grade 550, grade 650, grade 785, grade 830, grade 930, grade 1080 etc.
