DETAILS
Seals and sealing systems are used throughout the chemical process industries, on both machinery components
and piping, to control and isolate fluids such as liquids, gases and vapors. These tutorial-style articles share proven
engineering guidance related to the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of both static and dynamic
seals and sealing systems.
Several articles in this reference book focus on troubleshooting seal failures, and designing systems to manage the
special requirements of high-purity installations.
This guidebook will help engineers to reduce or eliminate seal failure that routinely result from inappropriate
installation, operations or maintenance, improper material selection, and environmental issues that can impact seal
performance, such as pressure, temperature, fluid compatibility, human factors and more.
The collection of articles is broken into two sections. One focuses on seals and sealing systems for machine
components, the other focuses on sealing systems for piping arrays. These practical, how-to articles were originally
published in Chemical Engineering.
Delivered in as a PDF download, 209 pages.
Table of Contents

Page 2 of 3

Mechanical Carbon in Chemical Processing Equipment

This self-lubricating material offers advantages when used for components that are running submerged in the
process fluid
Lubricating Rotating Machinery
Follow this guidance to improve lubricant selection, process operation and asset reliability
Use Simplified Lifecycle-Cost Computations to Justify Upgrades
The methodologies presented here can be used to set goals, and will enable performance comparisons among
different plants or industry segments
Lifecycle Costs for Capital Equipment In the CPI
Long-term equipment costs need to be fully considered in capital-cost assessments
Containing Fugitive Emissions
Practical ways to seal valve stems and prevent unwanted emissions
Compressors: N2 Expands the Applicability of Dry Gas Seals
When the process gas is dirty or corrosive, nitrogen can be used to ensure trouble-free operation of the seal, but it
requires special steps
Condition Monitoring for Rotating Machinery
This valuable insight into the performance of pumps and compressors will help improve operation
Compressors: Pursuing Lowest Cost of Ownership
Proper specification, purchase, mechanical-run and shop performance testing, installation, operation and
maintenance are all important
Condition-Based Maintenance Management Enhances Reliability
Understand reliability, condition monitoring and maintenance management to keep rotating equipment in top form
Oil-Mist Systems
This primer discusses the pros and cons of open- versus closed-loop designs for lubricating pump and motor
bearings
Crossover Applications for the ASME-Bioprocessing Equipment Standard
The content of the ASME-BPE Standard is universal and can be applied broadly throughout the CPI to meet the
needs of complex engineering designs and operations
Reduce Hazards in Process Vacuum Systems
Reduce explosion risks, and chemical and physical hazards, to ensure safer operation of vacuum pumps and
related systems
Acids Handling
General guidelines on materials, storage, pumping and other concerns for the proper and safe handling of acids

SECTION 2 SEALING SYSTEMS FOR PIPING COMPONENTS

Stress Analysis for Piping Systems Resting on Supports
Avoid erroneous analysis that may result from using computer programs
Piping for Process Plants Part 1: The Basics
Pipe, fittings and related equipment are fundamental to the operation of chemical process plants. The series of
articles beginning with this one spells out the details
Quick Pipe and Duct Flow Calculations
Simple calculation methods for estimating flow characteristics in pipes and ducts save engineers time
Avoid Leakage in Pipe Systems
Selection and proper installation of the correct fitting will minimize leaks
Use Simplified Lifecycle-Cost Computations to Justify Upgrades
The methodologies presented here can be used to set goals, and will enable performance comparisons among
different plants or industry segments
Piping Design, Part 3 Design Elements
Design requires a systematic methodology, planning, technical ability, interdisciplinary coordination, foresight and,
above all, experience
Lifecycle Costs for Capital Equipment in the CPI
Longterm equipment costs need to be fully considered in capital-cost assessments
Piping for Process Plants Part 6: Testing & Verification
Proper documentation, determination of the fluid service category and operating conditions are among the factors
necessary to perform the correct leak test on a piping system
Piping Design for Hazardous Fluid Service
Extra considerations and precautions are needed beyond the requirements of codes and standards
Piping Design, Part 2 Flanges
The engineer or designer must choose among several flange options. Additional decisions involve facing and
surface finishes, and the appropriate gaskets, bolts and nuts
Dont Overlook Composite FRP Pipe
Satisfying hydraulic and fluid flow issues are key considerations in the efficient design of FRP piping systems
Piping Design for Potentially Lethal Chemicals
Integrity and reliability are critical for piping and equipment that handle chemicals with extreme health hazards
