An Insider’s Guide To Pump Packing
Despite all the advances in pump design over the years, we still have to choose how we are going to minimize leakage from our pumps. Based on our team’s observation here at Pye-Barker, there is a split between two camps. The mechanical seal camp and also the packing camp. Both have their merits depending on the circumstances and no doubt you have your own personal preferences.
I’ll deal with mechanical seals another time and focus on packing here.
From DIY options, to custom solutions to even manufacturer supplied packing systems, any pump buyer is faced with an almost bewildering number of choices.
If you want to pack a pump then there are 4 key steps.
- Choose the right materials
- Site Preparation
- Correct Installation
- Ongoing monitoring.
