This article will help you to understand Classification of Mechanical seal by arrangement in a very simplified manner. Before we begin with classifications let us first briefly understand Mechanical seal and its main functions.

Any device is considered as failed when it is unable to perform satisfactorily as it was supposed to perform or designed with the intention to perform. Similarly, a mechanical seal is considered to have failed when leakage past the seal assembly.

A mechanical seal works under a combination of the various phenomenon. Thermal condition is one of the aspects if avoided can eventually lead to seal failure. Proper monitoring and ways of playing with the thermal nature of mechanical seal can increase the seal life. We will try to know the relation of mechanical seal and heat, its causes, effects and techniques/provisions of handling it.
