Global Construction Product Selection Guide Managing Your Capital Project Any large-scale construction project is inherently difficult. Thousands of people are involved, competition is aggressive, logistics are complicated, spending approvals can come slowly, and there is a constant threat of p...

< Back to Between Seal Plans API Seal Plan 52 utilizes a reservoir and circulates an unpressurized buffer fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. To provide positive circulation through the support system and into the seal, a pumping ring is employed. Frictional losses in the buffer fluid in...

API Plan 53A utilizes a reservoir and circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The typical source of pressurization is plant nitrogen. The reservoir should be set at least 20 psi (1.3 bar) above maximum seal chamber pressure. This is to ensure that leakage acros...

API Plan 53B circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The source of pressurization is a bladder accumulator. Plan 53B has the advantage of not allowing gas absorption into the barrier fluid which may allow for operation at higher pressures than Plan 53A. Barrier...

API Plan 53C circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The source of pressurization is a piston accumulator. Plan 53C is preferred for applications where the seal chamber pressure may vary during pump operation. A sensing line is typically run from the seal chamb...
