 Wet End – Jacketed Backcover
(Option)
• Sometimes the External Fluid
Circulation
backcovers are Chamber
jacketed.
• Allows an external
fluid to circulate
around the mechanical
seal environment.
• Maintains proper
temperature control
(heating or cooling) of
the mechanical seal.
 Wet End – Backcover - Other
Common Options
• Different chamber designs
– Taper bore and cylindrical bore.
• Throttle Bushings
– Various designs & materials.
– Restricts flow into mechanical seal chamber.
– Most bushings require special machining of
backcover.
• Shortened chamber depth to accommodate
special mechanical seal designs
 Wet End (Component) - Mechanical
Seal
• Keeps the Liquid
Being Pumped from
Leaking Out Past the
Pump Shaft
• Installed on the Shaft
in the Backcover Seal

• A Purchased Item (if
Installed)
• Many Global

 Why Impellers Are Adjusted
1. Set initial pumping
clearance (impeller
to casing) based on
temperature of
pumpage
.015” ≤ 100°F
Add .002” for every 50°F
above 100°F

.38mm ≤ 38°C
Add .05mm for every 28°C
above 38°C

Clearance
Why Impellers Are Adjusted (Cont.)
2. To compensate for Typical reduction in
performance due to wear
wear and renew (based on 0.01”/year)
performance.

 How It All Comes Together
• Pump & motor/driver mounting type, size
and options are selected.
– Based on customer requirements, application
parameters, motor/driver specifics and sales
policies

Example
 Baseplate & Flexible Coupling
• Baseplate is to what the pump & driver are commonly
mounted.
• Coupling connects the output shaft of the driver/motor to
the pump shaft.
