Providing a remedy for the challenges associated with mechanical seal failures, Flowserve, which is headquartered in Texas, USA, has released a tool to help diagnose the root-cause of failure. According to its own analysis, some 98 percent 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 can be used by reliability engineers and maintenance staff who are tasked with troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
