PERANCANGAN MECHANICAL SEAL UNTUK POMPA 5M WASHINGTON MENGUNAKAN SISTEM API PLAN 62 DAN STANDAR API 682

Abstract

This research is related to changes in the seal system on the Washington 5M pump from gland packing to mechanical seals to eliminate losses that occur, the purpose of this research is to determine the type of material, components and mechanical seal design. The type of mechanical seal material is in accordance with the characteristics or specifications of the 5M Washington pump, based on the results of research conducted, good materials use process parts, face contact uses TC vs SSiC material, secondary seal uses o'ring with viton material, hardware uses C276 alloy material, while on the barrier, face contact uses Carbon vs SSiC material, secondary seal uses o'ring with Viton material, hardware uses SS. 316 and C276 alloy for spring and good mechanical seal design using a double pushes seal type with a balance type process section design and an unbalance type barrier section with performance calculations on the balance ratio process section of 0.73 and a temperature increase of 4.69⁰K, the results of performance calculations on the barrier ratio section the balance is 1.32 and the temperature rise is 1.67⁰K, the design results are said to be good with the temperature increase not exceeding the allowable temperature rise limit of 5.6⁰K
