Step-by-Step Decision Tool

Find Your Recommended Seal Model in 3 Clicks

Select your pumped fluid and operating conditions below to instantly identify the optimal seal construction and face metallurgy.

1 What Equipment Are You Sealing?

Select your rotating machinery type:

Centrifugal Pump
Chemical / Acid Pump
Agitator / Mixer / Reactor
Slurry / Massecuite Pump

2 What Is Your Process Fluid / Media?

Chemical nature and solids content of the fluid:

Clean Water / Glycol
Corrosive Acid / Solvent
Slurry / Crystals / Lime
Hot Thermal Oil (>180°C)
Sterile Pharma / FDA API

3 Operating Pressure Level

Up to 10 kg/cm² (Standard)
10 to 25 kg/cm² (Medium)
25 to 35+ kg/cm² (High Pressure)
Engineered Match Category: Standard Centrifugal

Recommended: US MG1 Elastomer Bellows Mechanical Seal

The US MG1 is ideal for clean and mildly dirty water pumps. Its rubber bellows design protects the shaft against fretting wear and absorbs vibration.

Recommended Face Pairing: Carbon vs Silicon Carbide
Secondary Seal: NBR or FKM (Viton)
