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.
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
