    The document discusses mechanical seal balance ratios and bursting pressure. It provides equations that the balance ratio (B.R.) is equal to the face pressure (PF) divided by the system pressure (Px), and that the bursting pressure (PL) is equal to 0.56 times the system pressure (P) if the zero gauge pressure (P0) is considered zero. It states that the balanced ratio must be above 0.56 to ensure positive loading of seal faces, and is normally kept at 0.7 for a balanced seal in practice.

    To ensure that seal faces are always positively loaded, balanced ratio of a mechanical seal must be
    above 0.56 in practice it is normally kept as 0.7 for balanced seal.
