Training in Advanced Tube Bending It has often been said that tube bending is an art, not a science. While it is true that bent tube can take on an artistic appearance  when done well,  the real art of bending  tubing lies in the operator’s ability toovercome the variables inherent to the bending ...

API Plan 51 is a quench system for use on the atmospheric side of a single seal. This system acts as a dead-ended reservoir for a fluid. API Plan 51 Kit contents shown solid and include some optional components. This plan: Prevents icing on the atmospheric side of the seal Is typic...

API Plan 62 delivers an external quench fluid to the atmospheric side of the seal. A typical application in a refinery is the prevention of coking on seal faces in hot hydrocarbon service by employing a steam quench. Nitrogen or clean water may also be used to quench or cool and clean the atmospheri...

API Plan 65A monitors leakage in a single seal arrangement. Connected to the drain port on the gland, a reservoir collects normal leakage and is constantly open to drain. In the event of a seal failure, an orifice fitting on the outlet of the system allows a level transmitter to trigger an alarm due...

API Plan 65B monitors leakage in a single seal arrangement. Connected to the drain port on the gland, a reservoir is allowed to collect normal leakage. A level transmitter on the reservoir triggers an alarm in the event of excessive leakage. A valve on the outlet side of the reservoir is typically l...

< Back to Between Seal Plans API Seal Plan 52 utilizes a reservoir and circulates an unpressurized buffer fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. To provide positive circulation through the support system and into the seal, a pumping ring is employed. Frictional losses in the buffer fluid in...

API Plan 53A utilizes a reservoir and circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The typical source of pressurization is plant nitrogen. The reservoir should be set at least 20 psi (1.3 bar) above maximum seal chamber pressure. This is to ensure that leakage acros...

API Plan 53B circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The source of pressurization is a bladder accumulator. Plan 53B has the advantage of not allowing gas absorption into the barrier fluid which may allow for operation at higher pressures than Plan 53A. Barrier...
