Static Testing

The ISC2 single rotating bellows seal may be static tested at pressures up to 200

psi (13.7 bar) prior to installation on the equipment. Flowserve manufacturing

typically tests the ISC2 at 25 psig (1.7 bar). To static test the seal, bolt it to a

single seal test barrel or to the equipment. Secure the cup-point set screws to the

stub shaft or equipment shaft to prevent deformation of the setting devices due to

axial loads. The seal can be pressurized through the tangential flush port. If the

seal does not pass, according to QP-B.28, the static pressure test, disassemble

the seal and inspect for O-ring damage, as this is the most common cause of

static test failure.
