Maximum Operating Pressure Type 60 / 65 PV Chart

The PV chart shows the maximum operating pressures
of this Vulcan seal type based on the seal face materials
used.

It also assumes stable operation at the speeds shown

in the multiplier tables below, in a clean, cool, lubricating
and non-volatile fluid with an adequate flush rate.

To calculate the approximate maximum operating

pressure for a specific duty, multiply the pressure value
obtained from the chart opposite for a particular seal
shaft size by the appropriate factors given in the tables
below.

Based on Carbon vs Ceramic Seal Faces

Application Conditions Face and Seat Materials

Criteria Multiplier Combination Multiplier

Example Calculation for Type 60 Guidance Only

/ 65
A. Shaft size: 1” therefore pressure is 6 bar (from PV
chart)
B. Media: Water (multiplier = 0.85)
C. Temperature: 50°C (multiplier = 1.00)
D. Speed: 1450 R.P.M. (multiplier = 1.00)
E. Face combination: Carbon vs Ceramic (multiplier =
0.50)
For this particular Type 60 / 65 seal size, the calculation
for the approximate guidance maximum operating
pressure would be:
Please note that due to the many operational and
application variables that affect seal performance,
the information given on this page is for guidance
only.
We therefore strongly recommend careful individual
testing and monitoring of all seals and related
equipment for any proposed application.
Our policy is one of continuous technical and
efficiency improvement. As such, all specifications
may be subject to change without prior notice.

A x B x C x D x E

6 bar x 0.85 x 1.00 x 1.00 x 0.50 = 2.55 bar
