    This document discusses parameters for selecting between a sealed or sealless centrifugal pump. Key parameters include the nature of the product being pumped, its vapor pressure, specific gravity, and viscosity as well as operating temperatures and pressures. Initial and maintenance costs, efficiency, and lifecycle costs are also important factors. The document then discusses API 610 pump types and mechanical seal arrangements including single, tandem, or double seals depending on factors like the product handled, vapor pressure, abrasiveness, and monitoring needs. Material of construction selection depends on the fluid properties like pH, abrasiveness, corrosiveness, and operating temperatures and pressures.
