1.2 Brief description
The split mechanical seal MSS is delivered as a bidirectional, partially assembled
mechanical seal. While it has been designed for rugged industrial applications and ease of installation, it does require careful assembly in a clean environment accord­ing to the following installation steps. The MSS seal is primarily designed to seal agitator shafts and can be run dry up to 350 rpm or wet up to 1750 rpm. Consult your local nearest Flowserve Sales and Service Representative, regarding other applications.
1.3 The spring force and the product pressure push the seal ring against the mating ring. The seal faces are sealed from the shaft sleeve, respectively from the housing, by sealing elements (e. g. O-rings). The faces of the seal ring and the mating ring are designed as sealing faces.
!
The installation chamber for the mechanical seal type MSS must be checked against the corresponding drawing and table of dimensions. It must be ensured that all dimensions, surface qualities and tolerances (e. g. concentricity, runout, fits) are observed.

1.4 Function
The faces of the seal ring and the mating ring are designed as sealing faces. The seal faces of the seal rings are contacting and wearing slightly, when the machine shaft rotates. The consumed quantity of product leakage is low and depends on the operat­ing conditions, it enters the atmosphere through the seal gap.
!
The product pressure may not exceed the values given under item 1.1.
1.5 Function conditions
The MIXERPAC’s function is obtained only when the following conditions are fulfilled:
Plane-lapped seal faces.
Perpendicularity between the seal faces and the shaft centerline.
Unforced clearance of the rotating parts within the specified tolerances.
Prevention of sedimentation on the surfaces of the shaft or shaft sleeve by e. g. crystalliation or polymerisation.
Prevention of the product from adhering in the area at the seal gaps.
Permanent fluid film in the seal gaps.
Adherence to the specified operating data as per item 1.1 respectively the data sheet.
If these function conditions are not fulfilled, the leakage rate increases and parts of the product can escape into the atmosphere. Additionally, disregarding of these issues can result in high component temperatures.

4.0 Transport, Storage
4.1 The mechanical seal must be transported and stored in the unopened original pack­aging. The storage site must be dry and free of dust. Influences through temperature or irradiation must be avoided.
4.2 Parts or complete mechanical seals that have been dropped or otherwise subjected to heavy impacts during transport must not be installed. An inspection by FLOWSERVE becomes necessary.
4.3 After a storage period of three years the mechanical seal must be inspected for prop
­erties as new. This applies in particular to the secondary seals and seal faces. We recommend an inspection by FLOWSERVE.
4.4
!
If the machine is to be preserved with integrated mechanical seal the preserving medium must not impair the function of the mechanical seal by e. g. fouling or hardening or swelling the secondary seals.
4.5 The mechanical seal must be transported with adequate tools, e. g. by using industrial trucks or lifting devices.
5.0 Preparing for Installation
5.1
!
The mechanical seal may be installed when there are no visible signs of damage to the mechanical seal. This applies in particular to the static faces of the flange, centrings and the static sealing elements.
!
Before installing, consult the specifications on the accompanying documents to verify that the correct mechanical seal has been installed correctly and is suitable for the specified application. Do not exceed the design data.
!
Requisite for all assembly work are the installation drawing and parts list and the tools and aids required for the assembly.
!
Vibrations must not be allowed to reach the installed mechanical seal when the machine is operating or in particular when it is shut down. Vibrations can be stopped e.g. by structural measures on the machine.
!
Installation of this seal requires the use of an adhesive to bond the O-ring second­ary seals together. Do not allow the adhesive to come in contact with the skin.
!
The installation chamber for the mechanical seal must be checked against the corresponding drawing and table of dimensions. It must be ensured that all dimensions, surface qualities and tolerances (e. g. concentricity, runout, fits) are observed.
6
!
Ensure the highest degree of cleanness. Force must not be used to install the seal. Use only suitable tools and devices.
!
The seal faces of the mechanical seal are important functional sections and may not be damaged.
!
All functional and assembly areas for the secondary seals (e.g. O-rings) must be dimensionally accurate, free of scratches and burrs, flash-free and rounded.
!
The fitting surfaces of the mechanical seal and the installation chamber must be undamaged and dry. Ensure the highest degree of cleanness.
!
A thin coat of product-compatible grease (e. g. Molykote M55) is to be applied to the sealing elements. Excess grease is to be avoided.
!
Depending on the installation direction, a lubricant, (e. g. Molykote D321R) or PTFE spray without solvent, must be applied to the shaft or shaft sleeve.
!
The areas for the clamp-connections must remain free of grease, otherwise the adhesive force will become inadequate for correct functioning
5.2
Equipment Check
5.2.1 Follow plant safety regulations prior to equipment disassembly:
• lock out motor and valves.
• wear designated personal safety equipment.
• relieve any pressure in the system.
• consult plant MSDS files for hazardous material regulations.
5.2.2 Dismantle the machine in accordance with the instructions from the machine manu
-
facturer to reach the installation chamber for the mechanical seal.
5.2.3 Remove existing mechanical seal and gland or packing gland (follower flange) and the first few rings of compression packing down to the lantern ring.
5.2.4 Make sure the shaft or sleeve in the seal shaft packing (P) area and the seal hous
­ing bore (B) and face are clean and free of burrs, cuts, dents or corrosion that might cause leakage past the rotating face gasket or stationary face mounting O-rings.
5.2.5 Check equipment dimensions to ensure that they are within the dimensions shown in Figures 1 and 2 or 3. Critical dimensions include shaft or sleeve OD (A), seal housing bore (B), and the distance to the first obstruction (J).

6.0 Installation
6.1 The mechanical seal type MSS is installed in the mixer in accordance with the ins-
tructions from the machine manufacturer and with consideration to the following recommendations.
The machine to take the mechanical seal type MSS must be earthed in accor­dance with the applicable regulations for electrical installations (e. g. VDE rules) to conduct away any electrostatic build-up and so prevent spark formation.
Parts of the mechanical seal, which needs to be entered during assembly works, needs to be secured against slipping, stumbling or falling (e. g. by holding devices).
Installation of the mechanical seal type MSS on the machine may take place during machine breakdown only.
!
The areas for the clamp-connections must remain free of grease, otherwise the adhesive force will become inadequate for correct functioning.

6.19 Install the stationary face halves2 around the shaft with the lapped face outward
(non-lapped face is identified with a groove or part marking) away from the seal chamber face. Insert the stationary face into the gland bore and nest it in the O-ring
6
while making sure there is no sealing face mismatch at joints. If mismatch is
present, gently remove it.
!
Be sure the stationary face joints are in line with the gland ring joints.
6.20 Bond and lubricate the second stationary face mounting O-ring
6
around the
shaft as in Step 6.14 and place it over the stationary face outer shoulder.
6.21 Securely attach the retainer halves
RP
to the face of the gland using cap screws
K3
while positioning the retainer over the outer stationary face mounting O-ring.
6.22 Tighten the shoulder screws
K2
in the gland ring halves1while feeling for sea­ling face mismatch at the stationary face joints. If any mistach ocurs, loosen the shoulder screwsK2 and shift the stationary face halves to remove the mismatch then continue with tightening the shoulder screws.
6.23 Insert the plastic centering device
M2
between the insert ID and the shaft.
6.24 Tighten the gland fastening nuts or bolts holding the gland to the seal chamber
to 30 lb-in (3.4 Nm) maximum torque while feeling for seal face mismatch at stationary face joints. If any mismatch exists, loosen gland fastening nuts or bolts and shoul­der and retighten the nuts or bolts.
!
Do not overtighten the gland fastening nuts or bolts as overtightening on some
equipment may cause the stationary face to distort which may result in leakage at the sealing faces. It is not necessary for the gland to have metal-to-metal con­tact with the seal chamber face for the inner stationary face mounting O-ring to form a seal. The gland face must, however, be square with the axis of the shaft to within 0.020“ FIM (0,5 mm).
6.25 Remove the centering device
M2
. Retain it for use with the spare parts kit.
6.26 Mount the rotating seal face halves
3
around the shaft and fasten them together using the cap screwKprovided, tighten to a 30 lb-in (3.4 Nm) torque maximum. Check for seal face joint mismatch. If any mismatch exists, loosen the cap screws and shift the rotating face halves until no mismatch is felt. Retighten the cap.
6.27 Clean the rubbing faces
of the rotating and stationary face with alcohol and place
the rotating face so that its rubbing face is against the stationary rubbing face. See Step 6.9.
6.28 Position the split shaft packing O-ring
P
around the shaft and bond the joint ends
together as in Step 6.14. Lubricate the O-ring with the silicone lubricant provided and push the O-ring into the seal ring bore. See Step 6.10.

Split Mechanical Seal MSS - Installation and maintenance instructions for machinery parts
6.29 Install the white split backing ringP1 into the seal ring bore next to the O-ring. Install the two black elastomer backing rings
P2
. Be sure to stagger the backing
ring joints by 120°.
!
Do not bond the backing ring joints together.
6.30 Mount the seal drive halves
5
around the shaft and loosely fasten them together
with the shoulder screwsK1 provided. Line up the pins in the seal drive with the holes in the rotatig face and slide the seal drive towards the rotating face until a
0.12“ (3 mm) spring gap is achieved using the two 1/8“ Allen wrenches as spacers.
Tighten the shoulder screws completely
and lock seal drive to shaft.
Designs that incorporate set screws
57
in the seal drive, after tightening shol-
der screwsK1, tighten the set screws57 to lock the seal drive to the shaft.
The seal is now ready for operation.
!
For special problems encountered during installation, contact your nearest Flowserve Sales and Service Representative or Authorized Distributor.
7.0 Connecting the Seal Support System
7.1 The mechanical seal type MSS is pressurized from the product pressure, see para-
graph 3.1, due to this the connection of a seal support system is inapplicable.
7.2 A check can now be conducted on the mixer’s sense of rotation (without pressurized
product chamber).
8.0 Starting up the Machine
!
The MSS seal is designed to run dry at speeds of up to 350 rpm. If operated dry, no special environmental controls are necessary. For wet operation of up to 1750 rpm, make sure that the seal water flush, Plan 32, is adequate to remove seal generated heat and that the flush is on before start-up of the equipment. Contact your nearest Flowserve Sales and Service Representative or Authorized Distributor, for seal flush requirements
!
Parts of the mechanical seal type MSS, which rotate during operation of the machine, must be secured against contacts, in accordance with the specifica­tions from the machine manufacturer.
8.1 The mechanical seal type MSS is ready for operation of the machine after it has been
installed.
8.2 The installed mechanical seal type MSS is bidirectional.
16
8.3 For the static pressure test on the product vessel the vessel pressure may not exceed the
values given under item 1.1.
Temperatures at the component surfaces of the mechanical seal type MSS correspond to the operating temperatures of the product. Suitable precautions against contacts are necessary.
!
The mechanical seal type MSS will be damaged when the conditions given under item 1.5 are not maintained.
!
Follow the instructions both for start up and re-commisioning of the machine after a machine breakdown, see items 8.0 to 8.3.
Escaping leakage must not form an explosive mixture.
8.4 Possible malfunctions
:
SYMPTOM CAUSE
Dramatic increase of the leakage rate
- Shaft rotates eccentric.
- Damage to the mechanical seal (product enters the atmosphere).
8.5 The mixer shaft may be stopped at any time.
!
The mechanical seal type MSS cannot function during all assembly and mainte­nance work.
9.0 Shutting Down the Machinet and MSS Removal
