High Pressure Pump Seal Development, Engineering Quarterly Progress Report: December 1962-February 1963

Description: "The model seal test program was continued throughout the period covered by this report. Of notable mention, a test, 507 hours in duration, was conducted at 2000 psig and 2.75 GPH leakage. Examination of the seal faces after the test showed that there was no measurable wear within the limits of an optical inspection. The full size seal (5-1/2" shaft diameter) and the related test strand are in the manufacturing phase. The instrumentation and associated equipment for the full size seal test are … more

High Pressure Pump Seal Development, Engineering Quarterly Progress Report: March-May 1963

Description: "The model seal test program was concluded during this Quarterly Report. The final test, 1014 hours in duration, was conducted at a sea1ing pressure of between 2100 to 2300 psig and at a leakage rate of 2.14 gph. The seal face materials evaluated were an aluminum oxide rotor running against a stator face made of tungsten carbide for the high pressure seal and Graphitiar 39 for the low pressure element. Optical examination of the faces after the test showed no measurable wear. Nine unscheduled s… more

High Pressure Pump Seal Development, Engineering Quarterly Progress Report: September-November 1962

Description: "The full size seal (5 1/2" shaft diameter) was redesigned to incorporate the latest seal geometry which was developed as a result of the model seal test program. A number of compatible seal face material combinations, which performed satisfactorily during the model seal test program, was also selected for evaluation in the full size seal. All the detail drawings of the seal and test stand were completed. A test program for the full size seal was prepared and approved."
