Features Type 48XP

  • California Residents: PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
  • Seal life extended by full seal face lubrication at low leakage levels.
  • Combines a series of structures on one of the seal ring components.
  • The inlet structure generates a strong hydrodynamic pressure force, separating the faces with a reliable fluid film.
  • Unique return structures return the interface fluid to the sealed fluid, significantly reducing leakage to atmosphere.
  • Designed to comply with API 682.
  • Computer optimized design provides reliability with vapor pressure margins beyond the scope of API682 applications.
  • Dimensionally, the seal is interchangeable with other Type 48 seals.

Recommended Applications Type 48XP
