According to its own analysis, some 98% of mechanical seals fail prematurely before they have reached their optimum design life-time expectancy. The Flowserve Seal Failure Analysis App is a web-based tool designed to visually identify and prevent future mechanical seal failures. Accessible via desktop, tablet and mobile devices, this reference tool is a resource for reliability engineers and maintenance staff, tasked with troubleshooting and preventative maintenance. While mechanical seal failures are the number one cause of pump and mixer down-time, this area represents a great opportunity to reduce whole life costs on site across all pump systems.
