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...

API Plan 76 collects leakage from the inboard seal in applications where normal process fluid leakage does not condense between the seals at ambient temperatures. In this piping plan, gaseous leakage from the inboard seal exits through the containment seal vent port in the gland. The orifice creates...

< Back to Between Seal Plans API Plan 75 collects leakage from the inboard seal in applications where normal process fluid leakage can condense between the seals at ambient temperatures. In this arrangement, a reservoir is connected to the containment seal drain port on the gland. Condensed leakage...

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 typically used ...

API Plan 54 is a custom engineered system that delivers a pressurized barrier fluid to the seal chamber. The barrier liquid is circulated to and from the seal chamber via a pump located on an external reservoir. This fluid is maintained at a pressure greater than that found in the seal chamber. A Pl...

API Plan 55 is a custom engineered system that delivers an unpressurized buffer fluid to the seal chamber. The buffer liquid is circulated to and from the seal chamber via a pump located on an external reservoir. A Plan 55 can contain filters, coolers, and other components that are selected accordin...

< Back to Process Side Plans API Plan 32 delivers a clean flush fluid into the seal chamber from an external source. Typically used with a close-clearance throat bushing, this arrangement can be used to ensure a higher pressure in the seal chamber. Flush fluid will migrate past the bushing, so it i...

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...

API Plan 53C circulates a pressurized barrier fluid between the inboard and outboard seals. The source of pressurization is a piston accumulator. Plan 53C is preferred for applications where the seal chamber pressure may vary during pump operation. A sensing line is typically run from the seal chamb...
