The Importance of Seal Failure Analysis

Mechanical seals play a critical role in ensuring the efficient operation of various industrial equipment, such as pumps, compressors, and mixers.

Over time, these seals may fail due to various reasons, including wear, corrosion, misalignment, or improper installation.

When a seal fails, it can lead to leaks, contamination, and potential damage to the surrounding components.

Seal Failure Analysis is a crucial process that helps businesses understand the root cause of seal failures and identify any underlying issues.

By accurately diagnosing the problem, companies can implement targeted solutions to prevent future failures and extend the MTBF of their equipment.

The Process of Seal Failure Analysis

We employ a systematic and thorough approach to Seal Failure Analysis, ensuring that all potential causes of failure are meticulously investigated. The process typically involves the following key steps:

Free Tear Down & Collection

Upon receiving a damaged or defective mechanical seal, our team initiates a free tear down process. This step involves carefully disassembling the seal and inspecting each component to identify any visible signs of wear, damage, or other abnormalities.

Detailed Visual Inspection

After the tear down, a detailed visual inspection is conducted using advanced tools and techniques. This examination helps in identifying surface irregularities, corrosion, misalignments, or any signs of inadequate lubrication.

Material Analysis

In some cases, the failure of a mechanical seal might be attributed to material issues. We conduct material analysis to determine if the seal’s materials were compatible with the application, considering factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure.

Root Cause Analysis

The heart of the Seal Failure Analysis process lies in root cause analysis. Our team of experts meticulously examines all the data gathered from the tear down, visual inspection, and material analysis to pinpoint the exact cause of the seal failure.

Failure Analysis Report

Upon completing the analysis, we prepare a comprehensive Failure Analysis Report. This detailed report includes all findings, root cause determination, recommended corrective actions, and preventive measures to avoid similar failures in the future.
