A new John Crane brochure describes the Type 2800X non-contacting dual seals, outlining their particular suitability to large-bore, non-turbo rotating equipment applications
This led to the development of the fresh technological processes required to create the new seals and enable them to deliver quantifiable improvements in both efficiency and profitability.
The 8600 Series seals provide exceptional total life cycle reliability, maximum tolerance to, and recovery from, process changes and reverse pressure running, and also the facility for high pressure dry running in remote locations.
With a greatly increased resistance to hang-up and distortion the new seals cope easily with today's new deeper wells, and with operating pressures up to 200 bar - far in excess of any other standard seals on the market.
This gives them tremendous flexibility and makes them suitable for a huge range of main oil line and related water applications.
Launched at the Offshore North Sea exhibition in Stavanger, Norway, the 8600 Series seal uses advanced composite face materials originally developed for the aerospace industry, and combines this with non-contacting seal face technology, unique seal ring support designs and the John Crane patented LaserFace technology.
Reflecting the John Crane position as a world leader in the development of seal technology, the high-performance 8600 Series seals can easily be customised to suit individual applications.
