5.1 Main causes of mechanical seal failure
Mechanical seal failure can have a variety of causes. Most often, leakage occurs through the sealing interface formed by the two friction faces. It is also necessary to diagnose the seal's other components, in order to explain the causes of failure [liner seals, cover seals, sliders, driving part (
