Pumped liquids
Lists of pumped liquids
The following tables indicate the suitability of the indi-
vidual shaft seals in various pumped liquids. The suita-
bility only applies to the mechanical shaft seal and is
not related to pumps in general.
The suitability of the individual seal combinations is
based on the information on temperature, concentra-
tion, etc. given in the tables. Changes in these condi-
tions will affect the suitability of the seal.
Intended as a guide, the lists of pumped liquids are
based on the latest knowledge and experience.
As the lists of pumped liquids do not state the toxicity
class of the individual liquids, it does not clearly appear
from the lists whether the seal is appropriate for the
task in question in order to avoid health hazards (corro-
sion, poisoning, etc.).
