Scope - Seal Arrangements
ISO 21049 covers 3 Arrangements:
Arrangement 1:
one seal per cartridge assembly
Drawing
Arrangement 2:
two seals per cartridge assembly
with a containment seal chamber at pressure less
than the seal chamber pressure
Drawing
Arrangement 3:
two seals per cartridge assembly
with externally supplied barrier fluid at a pressure
greater than the seal chamber pressure
Drawing
Scope Seal Methods
Contacting Wet Seals (CW)
Seal Faces not Designed to Create Aerodynamic and
Hydrodynamic forces to sustain Seperation Gap.
Non-contacting Seals (wet or dry, NC)
Seal Faces Designed to Create Aerodynamic and
Hydrodynamic forces to sustain Seperation Gap.
Containment Seals (Contacting or Non-contacting,
CS)
Scope - Seal Orientations
API 682 covers 3 orientations for
Arrangements 2 & 3:
Face-to-Back
Drawing
(arr.2 default selection & arr. 3 wet seals)
Back-to-Back
(arr. 3 default for gas seals; option for wet seals)
Face-to-Face

concentrations
containment seals should run
- for at least 25000 hours for absolute pressures less
than 1,7 bar (25 psi)
- for at least 8 hours at full seal chamber conditions
