Pump Packing/Mechanical Seal Demonstrator

#280

This unique, multi-use device allows for demonstration and training related to industrial pump sealing systems. Based on the dimensions of a standard ANSI centrifugal pump and incorporating a clear acrylic seal area, this lightweight demonstrator allows for installation, and testing of a broad variety of mechanical seals and conventional packing systems. A PVC, representative impeller housing, leak-off taps and provision for vents and drains, allow for introduction of pressurized water to test seals and packing under pressure. Food coloring can be added to allow greater visibility of migration through an improperly packed stuffing box or leaking in a mechanical seal which has been installed incorrectly. This light-weight, portable, yet realistic training demonstrator will be an excellent addition to any course relating to pump operation, and maintenance.

FEATURES Formed, 7-gauge, steel baseplate with provision for bench-top mounting. Clear acrylic "backhead" and stuffing box, allowing for complete visibility of the seal area, and allowing for installation of many commercially available mechanical seals. PVC, simulated impeller housing with water inlet, vent and drain. Aluminum shaft assembly, incorporating a stainless steel, 1-3/4" shaft sleeve. Aluminum spacer assembly, connecting impeller housing and power-end. Aluminum, simulated power-end, incorporating sleeve bearing and radial ball bearing for pump shaft support. Provision for attaching leak-off tubing or coolant recirculation tubing in the seal area. Quick-disconnect tube fittings at all fill, vent and drain locations. Aluminum lantern ring. Aluminum packing gland. Acrylic replacement packing gland for mechanical seal applications. Handwheel, allowing for shaft rotation. Provision for mounting on the DAC, #905 Electromechanical Bench. Overall size of 13-1/2"W x 24"L x 13-1/2"H (57 lbs.). Packaging for shipment via motor freight.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES Spool of 3/8" braided packing. Food coloring. Two pressure gauges with quick-connect fittings. Hose and air adapter assemblies. Vent and fill valve assemblies. Two additional impeller housing gaskets. Tool kit, including: 6" depth scale; (2) packing pullers, (2) lantern ring pullers, packing pusher/driver, 1-3/4" diameter packing cutting mandrel, (6) pairs of disposable gloves, inspection mirror, crocus cloth and a plastic tool box.
