    Barrier and buffer fluids are used to create safe and effective sealing environments for pumped fluids. Barrier fluid maintains higher pressure than the process fluid to prevent leaks if the primary seal fails. Buffer fluid keeps lower pressure to avoid contaminating the process fluid while still lubricating the primary seal. Seal plans consider factors like fluid pressures and arrangements to achieve reliable sealing according to API standards.

    BARRIER FLUID AND BUFFER FLUID

    BARRIER FLUID
    • Fluid pressure is 1-2 Bar higher than the pumped fluid pressure
    • Used when the process fluid is highly dangerous and a failure of one primary seal could cause
    leakage

    BUFFER FLUID
    • Fluid pressure is lower than sealed pressure
    • Used if contamination of the process fluid is unacceptable and if the sealed fluid provides
    adequate primary seal lubrication
    SEAL PLAN
    Seal plans are some factors for achieving a highly reliable, effective
    sealing performance by creating the best fluid environment around
    the seal
    API has established standardized piping plans for seals that provide
    industry guidelines for various seal arrangements, fluids and control
    equipment. The procedures included are based upon API 682
    standards
