- Description
- The product is an Ni-Resist Mechanical Seal Face and is one of the two seal faces in a mechanical seal assembly. The metal seal face is presented on its own without any elastomers or additional elements. Manufactured from cast nickel-iron alloy tubes using CNC or manual machining processes. Ni-resist iron is an alloyed cast iron that typically contains 20-25% nickel and is non-malleable, austenitic and ductile. The primary sealing surface is finish polished by a lapping process, which is essential to the function of the mechanical seal assembly. Each seal face is custom-designed and combined with other mechanical seal elements to meet precise specifications and intended solely for specific mechanical seals used in industrial rotary applications, to prevent leakage between rotating and stationary elements.
