The ultimate user must ensure that personnel assigned to handle, install and run the mechanical
seal and related equipment is well acquainted with the design and operating requirements of
such equipment.
For this personnel it may be required to wear protective clothing as per the plant’s
safety regulations.
Damage to any of the seal components and in particular the faces may cause (exces-
sive) leakage in liquid or gas form. The degree of hazard depends on the sealed product
and may have an effect on people and / or the environment. Components coming into
contact with leakage must be corrosion resistant or suitably protected. Normal seal
leakage should not result in the formation of an explosive mixture. Plant regulations
concerning work safety, accident prevention and pollution must be strictly adhered to.
This mechanical seal has been designed and built to seal rotating equipment. Damages resulting
from use in other applications are the responsibility of the user.
Failure, recovery or fluctuation in power supply to the machine and/or supply system
may not expose persons or environment to dangerous situations or harm the
functionality of the mechanical seal.
Guards that are provided by the equipment manufacturer have to be in accordance with
plant regulations, but should not create additional danger. These guards have to ensure
proper access to the working area required for maintenance to the mechanical seal.
The electricity supply of the equipment must be in accordance with directive 2006/95/EC.
When machinery is powered by a source of energy other than electricity this may not
cause dangerous situations for persons and environment.
