Less Leakage Saves Money, Reduces Labour, and Improves Safety
Nearly 40%1 of all unscheduled critical pump shutdowns are caused by mechanical seal failures. While all seals leak, mechanical seals and mechanical seal support systems help control leakage, saving money, reducing labour, and improving safety. To protect your operations, it’s best to use a seal support system that is customized to your application’s specific needs and designed to reduce costly leak points and seal failure.

Simplified Installation and Maintenance
Because seal support systems are critical to the proper operation of the mechanical seal and pump, you need a system designed for reliable operation, easy maintenance, and access to critical spares when you need them. Configurable, easy to operate, easy to maintain, and safer to use, Swagelok mechanical seal support systems support the continued, safe and uninterrupted operation of your mechanical seals. All our seal support plans – Process Side, Atmospheric Side and Between Seal – are designed using API 682-recommended best practices. These practices detail the minimum requirements for seal support systems; however, all plans are configurable to support your existing equipment, operating conditions, or environmental concerns.
We have over 70 years of fluid system experience; we’re just bringing that expertise to a new area – Seal Support Systems:
