404 <strong>Centrifugal</strong> <strong>Pumps</strong>: <strong>Design</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Application</strong><br />

Figure 17-41. Common types of motion that influence seal performance <strong>and</strong><br />

method of checking the equipment.<br />

this proc<strong>ed</strong>ure if a step in the sleeve or collar has been design<strong>ed</strong> into the<br />

sleeve assembly to provide for proper seal setting. Assembly of other<br />

parts of the seal will bring the unit to its correct working height. A single<br />

seal mount<strong>ed</strong> as shown in Figure 17-42 is the most economical seal installation<br />

available to industry.<br />

Package seals as shown in Figure 17-26 can be assembl<strong>ed</strong> with relative<br />

ease because only the bolts on the gl<strong>and</strong> plate <strong>and</strong> set screws in the collar<br />

ne<strong>ed</strong> to be fasten<strong>ed</strong> to the stuffing box <strong>and</strong> shaft. After the spacer is remov<strong>ed</strong>,<br />

the pump is ready to operate, provid<strong>ed</strong> the piping has been replac<strong>ed</strong>.<br />

Because a seal has precision lapp<strong>ed</strong> faces <strong>and</strong> secondary seal surfaces<br />

are critical in the assembly, installation should be kept as clean as possible.<br />

All lead <strong>ed</strong>ges on sleeves <strong>and</strong> gl<strong>and</strong> plates should have sufficient<br />

chamfers to facilitate installation.
