Product Description Performance Capabilities

The Type 50 seal is a single, balanced seal designed
to meet DIN24960 (L1K) specifications. This seal is ideal-
ly suited for use on centrifugal pumps, screw pumps,
rotary lobe pumps, and mixers for the oil and gas, food
processing, and pulp and paper industries.
• Temperature: -40°C to 160°C/-40°F to 320°F
(depending on materials used)
• Pressure: up to 25 bar(g)/360 psi(g)
• Speed: up to 20 m/s / 5,000 rpm

Design Features
• The spring and drive are outside the product,
decreasing clogging and permitting simple, efficient
external cleaning
• Face carrier can be removed without disturbing the
drive ring
• Dynamic O-ring slides on integrated sleeve
• Standard one-piece seat/mating ring
• Handles high drive torque in viscous fluids
• Positive drive is not dependent on direction of rotation
• Balanced seal is installed in narrow section
DIN24960 dimensions

Basic Pressure Rating

The basic pressure rating is for a standard seal, as shown in the
typical arrangement, when installed according to the criteria given in
this data sheet and generally accepted industrial practices.

The basic pressure rating assumes stable operation at 1,800 rpm in

a clean, cool, lubricating, nonvolatile liquid with an adequate flush
rate. When used with the multiplier factors, the basic pressure
rating can be adjusted to provide a conservative estimate of the
dynamic pressure rating. For process services outside this range or
a more accurate assessment of the dynamic pressure rating,
contact John Crane for more information.

Using the basic pressure rating graph, the maximum pressure would be 25 bar(g)/360 psi(g).
From the multiplier factors chart, apply the multiplier factors for the specific service requirements
to determine the maximum operating pressure for the application:
25 bar(g)/360 psi(g) x (0.75) x (1.00)x (1,800/3,000) = 11.3 bar(g)/164 psi(g).
The maximum operating pressure of this 60mm/2.36" Type 50 seal is 11.3 bar(g)/164 psi(g).
