The API 682 (American Petroluem Institute) is the set of rules that stipulate how mechanical seals should be made when they come into contact with hazardous substances, flammable or toxic, through the use of rotary or centrifugal pumps in the petroleum, chemical or natural gas sector.
The norm regulates mechanical seals for axles from 20 to 110 mm establishing precisely which are the categories, type and configuration with which engineers can easily choose the best product for their needs. The MTM500 series of mechanical seals covers all these positions starting from the simplest solutions of the category 1 with the“W-FX (MTM501/502/503) and the version with floating compass“W-FL (MTM504).
There are also different configurations if you search for a solution in categories 2 and 3 with the MTM510 (2CWCW), the MTM 520 (3CW-FB), the MTM521 (3CW-BB) and the MTM522 (3CW-FF). The materials complement the possibilities in configurations. In addition, the wide range of accessories related to the seals are suitable for the assembling in presence of the PLAN 02, 11, 13, 21, 23, 31, 32, 52, 53A, 53B, 53C, 54, 62, 65.
