 Why ISC Seal?
• Provide the highest value standard cartridge seal line for ANSI and
general pump applications.
• Maximum interchangeability at the lowest cost to the end user and FSD.
• Provide the highest value product for the extremely price sensitive
markets where more emphasis is placed on initial cost than Life-Cost
Value.
• Holistic approach in providing single and dual seal arrangements with
pusher and bellows options.
• Allows application of the correct configuration to each application.
• Increased use of common parts allows for mass manufacture of
components resulting in lower manufacturing and inventory costs.

Stationary Pusher Seal
Springs are held Stationary
avoiding back and forth motion of
the Dynamic O-ring. Hence NO
Shaft Fretting. Prevents Face
Oscillation. Allows true self
alignment.

Canned Rotor Design

Silicon Carbide rotor is captured in
the sleeve “Can” thereby protecting
the seal faces during installation.

Secondary Dynamic
Sealing Element Design
Secondary sealing element rides
on metal surface, increasing
reliability.
Thick Carbon and Carbide
Cross-sections
Silicon Carbide Mating Ring and
Carbon Primary Rings have beefy
cross sections to handle
installations and dynamic process
upsets.

ISC Technical Features
Robust Drive Arrangement
Drive flats are used to transmit
drive to the rotating seal face.
Drive pins, notches and resulting
stress raisers have been avoided
to increase seal reliability.
Springs are Completely
Isolated
Alloy C-276 springs are completely
isolated from the process fluid to
minimize stress corrosion.

Teflon O-rings
The O-rings were carefully placed
in ID Grooves to maximize the
use of Teflon O-rings except in
Pusher:
1. Dynamic O-ring(s)
2. Sleeve O-ring
Bellows:
1. Sleeve O-ring
Feature results in reduced
elastomer cost where
Perfluroelastomers are required.

 ISC - Features / Benefits
• Thick carbide and carbon cross sections : Thin cross sections of carbon and
carbide parts are very susceptible to premature fracture. Special care was
exercised during the design phase to beef up the cross sections for these parts
resulting in increased reliability.
• Silicon carbide mating rings are held in compression and are protected
resulting in increased reliability, especially start-up reliability.
• Homogenous carbon designs for the pusher configuration results in no
performance variations from cyclical temperatures.
• Design eliminates the use of drive pins, drive notches, stress raisers, etc.
resulting in increased reliability.
• Compression springs are isolated from the process fluid reducing stress
corrosion.

 ISC - Features / Benefits
• Dual seals are double balanced to provide both pressurized and non-
pressurized dual seal options.
• Care has been exercised to place the secondary sealing points on I.D.
grooves so that Teflon O-rings can be used to reduce the need for
perfluoroelastomers and provide lower cost seals.
• A unique pumping feature is 50% more effective than conventional standard
dual seal pumping features allowing cool operating seals and enhanced
MTBF of the seal.
• All Alloy C-276 bellows units increase the corrosion resistance of the
bellows unit resulting in enhanced reliability of the sealing device.
