BX Series balanced metal bellows seals are engineered to drive exceptional, long-term equipment reliability and lower energy consumption. They provide exceptional reliability in corrosive and non-corrosive fluids, especially fluids that crystallize or coke in atmospheric conditions. The BX Series is fully compliant with API 682 Type B requirements. Available in single and dual seal configurations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • API 682 Pressure: up to 27.6 bar (400 psi)

  • API 682 Temperature: -40°C to 204°C (-40°F to 400°F)

  • API 682 Speed: up to 23 m/s (75 fps)

  • API 682 Sizes: 12.3 to 127 mm (0.483 to 5.000 inches)

  • Longer service life via 0.20 mm (0.008 inch) thick standard welded bellows for maximum resistance to corrosion, shaft vibrations and centrifugal forces

  • Optimal performance is attained by selecting from three standard seal face balances

  • The BXQ seal is high balanced for flashing hydrocarbon applications

  • Increased maintenance intervals due to a self-cleaning rotating bellows that replaces the need for springs and dynamic elastomers to lessen clogging vulnerabilities

  • Maintain the performance benefits of self-cleaning rotating bellows in dual pressurized Arrangement 3 seals with the BXB seal’s unique ID pressurized seal face balance

  • GENERAL INDUSTRIES: Pulp & Paper

  • CHEMICALS: Basic (Organic & Inorganic) | Petrochemicals
