Static Testing

5.1 Flowserve manufacturing typically tests the ISC at 25 psig. A pressure drop

of less than one psi over a one minute time period at 25 psig using a test
set-up with a maximum fluid volume of one cubic foot is acceptable. To static
test the seal, bolt or clamp the seal to a pump seal chamber or other device
which will hold the inner gland up against the gland. WARNING: Failure to
do this will result in the inner gland unseating from the gland under pressure,
possibly resulting in damage to the inner gland O-ring and also causing a
personal safety risk. Secure the cup point set screws to the stub shaft or
equipment shaft to help prevent deformation of the centering tabs due to
axial loads. Apply pressure at either of the tangential barrier fluid ports, while
plugging the opposite port. If the seal does not pass the static pressure test,
disassemble the seal and inspect for O-ring damage, as this is the most
common cause of static test failure.
