STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION
MECHANICAL SEALS
2.TRANSPORTATION
2.1 Packaging
• John Crane chooses a level of packaging appropriate to the item, the method of transportation, the
environment, and its known destination; if this is an intermediate location the Company must be advised in
advance.
• Specialised packaging is available for particular circumstances.
ATTENTION: Seal units and components to be transported should always be retained in their original
packaging or an equivalent.
• Equal attention to packaging is needed when transporting used seals and components when parts are
being returned or reconditioning is planned.
In many instances the original supply packaging is reusable, and if stored appropriately can be used when
moving used parts.
• Transported parts should always be accompanied by documentation confirming the manufacturer, his
identification code, and the reason for the supply.
If parts have been used, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any parts being sent to
a third party have been appropriately decontaminated and have safe-handling instructions
externally attached to the package.
3. STORAGE
3.1 Shelf Storage of Seals and Components
• Where possible both assem bled seals and components should be kept stored in the original packaging,
together with identification documentation, storage date, and any Instruction Manuals associated with the
seals.
• In cases where the original packaging is not practical, storage arrangements should pay particular attention
to the protection of lapped surfaces and the prevention of damaged from impact. Materials sensitive to
airborne corrosion such as Niresist should be protected by a protective coating. Seal assemblies should be
protected by wrapping in an opaque polythene bag together with a desiccant to minimise humidity.
• All components and/or com plete seals must be kept clean and dry at all times. When storing a cartridge
seal removed from its original packaging ensure that the metal drain plugs and plastic transit plugs are all in
place to protect seal internals from contaminants.
• The storage of elastomers should meet the requirements of ISO.2230, which include exclusion from sunlight
or other ionising radiation, a cool environment between 15 and 25°C with a humidity less than 75% r.h. and
away from any direct source of heat. Many seal assemblies include elastomers and thus these same
recommendations must apply.
• With the exception of elast omers, seal components will have an indefinite shelf life. Elastomeric materials,
however, will deteriorate with time and it is recommended all except Fluoroelastomers are replaced after 2
years. A Fluoroelastomer shelf life can be extended to 5 years.

1. INTRODUCTION
John Crane manufacture and supply mechanical seals of the highest quality. These are precision-made pieces
of equipment, with sealing faces lapped flat within thousandths of a mm. Every care is taken in their design,
manufacture, assembly, and despatch to ensure that they are of the highest quality, and that they reach their
destination to our customer’s satisfaction.
To obtain the optimum performance from our seals, it is important that they are both fitted and operated correctly
in line with our technical literature. It is also important that seals are transported stored, packaged, and handed
correctly from the time of delivery to installation in the equipment.
The following designations are used in this instruction manual to highlight instructions of particular importance:
NOTE: Refers to special information on how to install or operate the seal most efficiently.
ATTENTION: Refers to special information or instructions directed towards the prevention of damage to the seal
or its surroundings.
Refers to mandatory instructions designed to prevent personal injury or extensive damage to the
seal or its surroundings.
2.2 Receipt
• On receipt of the package, its contents should be checked against the accompanying documentation. Minimal
disturbance should be applied, and after inspection the parts and all relevant documentation should be
replaced in the original packaging.
• If the package contains a seal unit, it will also include an Instruction Manual and/or other instructions. This
information should be read thoroughly before lifting or handling the seal. The Instruction Manual should
remain with the seal unit until it is installed, and should then be stored in an accessible and clean area.
• John Crane should be notified immediately if, after checking the documentation, it indicates an item is missing,
doesn’t comply, or there is concern an item has been damaged in transit.
If a part is damaged in transit, its sealing integrity may be affected.
2.3 Packaging Removal
• Where seals or parts need to be removed from protective packaging, a sharp instrument may be required.
Where appropriate, examine the Instruction Manual to determine the location of components; take care that
the tool used does not contact any soft, vulnerable seal parts. In the case of hard parts where contact is likely
or unavoidable, choose an area that is least vulnerable to the function of the part.
ATTENTION: Seal cartridges and assembles can be heavy and often contain hard ceramics which are
vulnerable to damage. Consult the Instruction Manual for guidance on lifting, and examine the
design of the assembly to ensure that during its handling and resting with packaging removed,
exposed, sensitive components are kept protected
• No sharp edges likely to cause physical injury should exist, but function or processing may have necessitated
them. Check parts before handling and either avoid risk areas, or wear appropriate protection
3.2 Long-term Rotating Equipment Storage
Pumps and other equipment subject to storage periods over 1 year are best stored without the mechanical seal
installed unless dual pressurised gas seals are or metal bellows arrangements installed. If the design is not of
this type but removal from equipment is impractical the storage can be extended to 2 years; additional
requirements listed in 3.3 are however necessary.
• All parts removed for storage must first be cleaned and thoroughly dried and elastomers degreased where
necessary.
ATTENTION: The radial rubbing surfaces of the mechanical seal should be separated, thoroughly cleaned, and
dried before storage to prevent corrosion and adhesion.
NOTE: This does NOT apply to dual pressurised gas seal cartridges which should be dried with
instrument air or nitrogen and if possible stored fully assembled on the equipment (see advice in
3.3).
• The advice contained in item 3.1, for the shelf storage of seals and components, also applies to items
removed from used or tested rotating equipment, and intended for storage.
• In the case of cartridges seal assemblies that have been used or dismantled prior to storage, it is
recommended they are statically tested prior to reinstallation. For further advice consult John Crane.
NOTE: Should re-assembly of a gas seal(s) be necessary the lubricant used on the dynamic elastomers
must be Krytox GPL 207
• It is recommended seal storage is carried out in the same manner as supplied. Some metallic shaft and gland
plate components may be stored attached to the rotating equipment, but attention to cleanliness, moisture and
corrosion protection still applies. For advice contact John Crane.
3.3 Short-term Rotating Equipment Storage
If it is felt necessary to store the seal installed in the rotating equipment, this is practical up to periods of 1
year. In the case of dual pressurised gas seals and metal bellows arrangements this is always the
recommended storage arrangement.
• The seal chamber and parts must be flushed, cleaned and completely dried afterwards. The internals of the
rotating equipment must also be properly drained, cleaned and dried with protective covers and plugs fitted
which seal it from the ingress of dust, and a desiccant introduced to minimise humidity.
ATTENTION: Dual pressurised gas seals should NOT be flushed with fluid. The seal may be “blown through”
or dried with nitrogen or instrument air to ensure the seal is dry and free from debris.
Ensure the equipment is clean, dry and that the seal chamber and seal are both at atmospheric
pressure, before removing the seal drain plug to blow through the seal.
ATTENTION: The radial rubbing surfaces of liquid lubricated and containment mechanical seals should be
separated, thoroughly cleaned and dried before reassembling for storage in the machine. This
will prevent corrosion and adhesion.
NOTE: For Gas Seal product cartridges please refer to the procedure for drying with instrument air
mentioned above.
• The annular opening betw een gland plate and shaft should be closed by a removable sealing ring to exclude
airborne dust. If storage is only for a very short period and no shaft rotation is expected the gap may be
masked by tape.
• All connections in the seal componentry must be plugged or sealed.
• It is recommended at monthly intervals the shaft is rotated slowly (by hand if possible), in the direction of
rotation of normal operation, to ensure flexibility of parts is maintained. Gas Seals should only be rotated in
the direction of the arrow marked on the gland plate.
NOTE: If it is not practical to rotate the shaft monthly it should be rotated slowly (by hand if possible),
before commissioning.
If the seal assembly has been stored on the equipment for more than 1 year and is a pusher design (API
682/ISO 21049 Type A) the seal head must be axially moved before commissioning/operation to ensure it
remains flexible. This may ordinarily be achieved by placing a narrow (1 mm) spacer in the setting gap between
the drive collar and gland plate and carefully releasing the shaft drive set screws. Using a screwdriver and
appropriate pivot gently flex the collar and sleeve axially approximately +/-1 mm from the set position.
Refit the setting devices to relovate the sleeve in the correct position and tighten the shaft drive set screws back
onto the shaft to the recommended torque level. Disangage and fix the setting devices or appropriately store
them.
NOTE: For concentric seal designs or when the sleeve drive and location does not include a collar and
set screws, alternative ways of axially flexing the seal must be considered.
• With dual pressurised seal s that have been stored for some period it is recommended the assembly is
statically tested with its barrier fluid at its normal barrier pressure before the equipment is put into service.
