MP53 Series for API 682 Plans 53B and 53C

Standard delivery 4-6 weeks

The MP53 series aligns with API 682 Plans 53B and 53C by supplying a liquid barrier fluid to a dual seal assembly at a higher pressure than the seal chamber.


Our barrier seal reservoirs are built to ASME Section VIII standards and ASME U code stamps are available. All our barrier fluid systems, whether custom or standard designs are designed and built to the current API 682 requirements.

Barrier Fluid Reservoir -  MP53 Series for API 682 Plans 53B and 53C

HOW IT WORKS:

A pressurized external barrier fluid reservoir forces the circulation of clean fluid to a pressurized dual mechanical seal, lubricating the inner and outer seal faces. The reservoir can be equipped with level, pressure, and temperature instrumentation to provide real-time process feedback on mechanical seal health.

FEATURES:

MP53B

Our MP53B unit supplies an external barrier fluid pressurized by a bladder accumulator. This sends clean barrier fluid to the dual seal at a pressure greater than the seal chamber.

  • U stamp accumulator standard

  • 5-10 gallon capacity

  • Air- or water-cooled availability

  • Integral barrier fluid make-up pump


MP53C

The external barrier fluid is pressurized by a piston accumulator and supplies clean barrier fluid to the dual seal at a pressure greater than the seal chamber.

  • Integral head porting eliminates pigtail design

  • U stamp coded vessel design

  • Magnetic level indication available
