Advantages and chacteristics of SILICON CARBIDE MECHANICAL SEALS

Mechanical seal faces must withstand demanding conditions, including high speeds, extreme temperatures, and substantial pressures, while resisting corrosion and wear. Technical ceramics are ideal for these applications due to their exceptional toughness, stiffness, flexural strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. They are particularly effective in dry gas seal assemblies, where they ensure minimal deflection at high speeds and low thermal expansion under high temperatures.

Using silicon carbide faces in mechanical seal assemblies enhances performance and extends seal life, leading to lower maintenance and operating costs for rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and centrifugal pumps. Eheng seal faces reduce the risk of leakage and catastrophic failure, protecting the environment from fugitive emissions. They also lower energy consumption by minimizing friction during startup and shutdown and reducing wear and erosion during operation. Eheng seal faces are highly durable, increasing the mean time between failures, which boosts productivity and lowers the total cost of ownership for processing equipment.
