The Hidden Costs of Failing Pump Seals
When pump seals break down, operations suffer. Leaks, unplanned shutdowns, and frequent replacements not only disrupt production but also drive up maintenance costs. Standard seals often fail under extreme pressure, high temperatures, or corrosive fluids — putting your equipment and bottom line at risk.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What pressure and temperature ranges can HydroMax pump seals reliably handle without compromising face stability?
Our seals are designed for process pressures up to 20 Barg (290 psig) and temperatures reaching 180°C (356°F), depending on the model. Balanced designs and shrink-fitted seal faces ensure stability under combined pressure and thermal stress.
How do your seals maintain integrity when pumping fluids with abrasive particles or high slurry content?
Specialized slurry-duty designs like the SPS-610 and SPS-625 use vortex breakers, wear-resistant faces (Silicon Carbide or Tungsten Carbide), and optimized barrier fluid circulation to resist erosion and maintain sealing performance in particle-laden streams.
Are the seals API 682 compliant, and which piping plans are supported (e.g., Plan 53A, 53B, 53C)?
Yes, HydroMax cartridge seals are designed in line with API 682 best practices and support common piping plans, including Plan 52, 53A, 53B, and 53C, making them suitable for standardized global operations.
Which pump models and shaft sizes are your cartridge seals designed to fit without modification?
Our seals cover shaft sizes from 20 mm to 100 mm (1.0”–4.0”) and are engineered to retrofit into most standard ANSI, ISO, and API pump models. Application-specific ranges are also available for OEM pumps such as Flowserve and Fristam.
Do your seals allow for retrofit into existing equipment, or do they require custom hardware adjustments?
Most HydroMax cartridge seals are drop-in ready, requiring no equipment modifications. For legacy or non-standard pumps, we provide engineered solutions to ensure compatibility without major redesign.
What is the typical installation time for your pre-assembled cartridge seals compared to component seals?
Cartridge seals are shipped pre-set and factory-tested, reducing installation time by up to 60% compared to component seals. This minimizes downtime and eliminates the need for precise on-site face setting.
How do your seals manage barrier fluid circulation to prevent heat buildup in continuous-duty applications?
Models like the SPW-516 integrate flow inducers and engineered porting to direct barrier fluid across seal faces. This ensures effective cooling, prevents dry running, and extends service life under continuous operation.
What is the expected service life under high-cycle or 24/7 operation, and how does refurbishment extend that life?
Service life varies by application, but HydroMax seals typically run 12–24 months in heavy-duty operations. Our refurbishment program restores seals to their original specifications, extending their total usable life by another 1–2 cycles at 40–60% of the new cost.
What condition monitoring practices (leakage detection, flush port inspections, etc.) do you recommend for predictive maintenance?
We recommend routine inspection of flush and quench ports, monitoring barrier fluid levels, and watching for minor visible leakage — often the first sign of wear. Integrating seal support systems with pressure and temperature sensors provides predictive data to plan replacements proactively.
How does refurbishment pricing compare to new replacements, and what are the cost savings over a 5-year lifecycle?
Refurbished seals typically cost 40–60% less than new. Over the course of 5 years, customers often achieve up to 50% lower total spend on sealing solutions by alternating between new purchases and refurbishment cycles.
