Fokina A basic requirement of an equipment operating under the pressure of a working medium is leak-tightness of its detachable joints. Disruption of leak-tightness not merely reduces production efficiency due to loss of feed material and end product, but is also a cause of environmental pollution by deleterious matters as well as of serious accidents during work with explosion- and fire-prone media. Peculiar complications arise, in particular, in cases where moving parts of machines, for example shafts of centrifu- gal pumps, are sealed, when, in addition to leak-tightness of the exit sections of the shaft, it is necessary to maintain the accepted efficiency of the machine and its preset operating life through reduction of the rate of wearing of the shaft in the area of its contact with the seal. Currently, face and gland seals are used to seal shafts [1]. Each of these seals has merits and demerits: face seal pre- cludes wearing of the shaft and simplifies servicing during operation, but requires higher precision of fabrication and assem- bly of its constituent TI - Face-Gland Seal for Rotary Shafts JF - Chemical and Petroleum Engineering DO - 10.1023/A:1024222013361 DA - 2004-10-11 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/face-gland-seal-for-rotary-shafts-etXRigpcxK SP - 150 EP - 154 VL - 39 IS - 4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
