 PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major industrial
users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical requirements
into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering costs to both the
purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice is expected to
incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may involve
requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over this Practice.
Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the
Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on
information contained in these materials. The use of trade names from time to time should
not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the
trade. Other brands having the same specifications are equally correct and may be
substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with
applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these
Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations,
such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before
applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

4.6 Shaft Sealing Systems
4.6.1 If specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM Data Sheet, a
shaft sealing system shall be provided.
4.6.2 Seals shall be designed to be hydraulically balanced and of single cartridge
construction.
4.6.3 The inner seal of dual seals shall have a reverse balance feature designed and
constructed to withstand reverse pressure differentials without opening.

reducer, if installed.
4.6.5 Seal cartridge design shall be adequate for stand-alone static bench testing before
installation.
4.6.6 Seal cartridges shall be self-venting through the seal circulation return line.
Centerline of the seal flush return port shall be a minimum of 3 mm (0.13 inch)
above the seal faces.
4.6.7 Seal cartridges shall have leak detection ports. Leak detection ports shall have a
tapped connection and shall be permanently labeled by stamping.
4.6.8 Unless otherwise specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM
Data Sheet, the rotating seal element shall be setscrew driven.
4.6.9 If specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM Data Sheet, the
rotating seal element shall be key or shrink disc driven.
Comment: The use of setscrews to drive large or high-pressure
mechanical seals requires the use of several setscrews, which
creates the possibility of uneven setscrew tightening and
distortion or improper installation of the seal. Mechanical
damage to the shaft and possibly to the shaft O-rings can result
from the setscrews upsetting the shaft metal when tightened.
The use of key or shrink disc driven seal elements eliminates
these possible problems. Use of a shrink disc imposes lower
stresses on a shaft than key drives, and does not damage the
shaft surface.
4.6.10 Pressure joints in the seal cartridge housing shall be sealed with O-rings. Use of
gaskets shall not be permitted.
4.6.11 Unless otherwise specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM
Data Sheet, the seal cartridge shall not have cooling jackets.

buffer fluid from the seal reservoir to the seal. Circulation device may be a
pumping ring or a separate circulation pump.
4.6.15 If a dead-ended seal lubrication system is specified on purchaser’s
PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM Data Sheet, a cooling jacket may be required,
and a circulation device shall not be provided.
4.6.16 An anti-friction bearing shall be mounted in or near the mechanical seal cartridge
to minimize shaft motion at the seal. For continuous service, the bearing shall
have a minimum L10 life of 40,000 hours. Calculation of bearing life shall be
based on the operating conditions specified in the contract documents. If
approved by the purchaser, dual seals with an integral bearing may be furnished.
4.6.17 If specified, a separate lifting device for seal maintenance shall be provided.
Comment: A separate lifting device for mechanical seal maintenance (typically
a small bolt on trolley and hoist assembly) is recommended if no
permanent overhead lifting capacity is available and the weight of
any item in the seal system exceeds 20 kg (45 lb).
4.6.18 For toxic fluids, fluids operating near autoignition temperature, and for
flammable fluids with vapor pressure greater than atmospheric pressure at
operating temperature or maximum ambient temperature, the shaft sealing system
shall have pressurized dual mechanical seals.
4.6.19 If specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM Data Sheet, the
sealing system shall have a positive shutoff device that permits maintenance of
the sealing system without clearing the tank or vessel. The positive shutoff device
shall have the following features:
a. Capable of sealing at two times the pressure exerted by the liquid when the

therefore the positive shut-off device may have a lower pressure
rating than the mechanical seal.
4.7 Agitator Supports
4.7.1 Unless otherwise specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM
Data Sheet, agitators shall have a through-bolted connection flange with

Process Industry Practices Page 8 of 14

4.8.6 Unless otherwise specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM
Data Sheet, shaft ends for mixer or agitator shaft coupling hubs above
mechanical seals shall be tapered for ease of disassembly.
Comment: Tapered coupling hubs are used at coupling joints if the
coupling is required to be easily field removable and also have
a moderate interference fit to transmit torque. The coupling
located just above the mechanical seal is an example of this.
4.8.7 If specified on purchaser’s PIP RESM003-D or RESM003-DM Data Sheet,
cylindrical bore couplings shall be mounted using an interference fit of
0.0005 mm/mm (0.0005 inch/inch) of shaft diameter. Puller holes shall be
