HIGH DUTY CARTRIDGE O-RING SEAL
Technical Specification

Type RRTP Typical Arrangement

The dual, unpressurized

(tandem) arrangement consists
of two seals in series. The inner
seal operates on pumped fluid
and the outer seal normally
operates on a low pressure
buffer liquid. The outer seal is
designed to provide a full-duty
backup service.

Type RRCP Typical Arrangement

The dry tandem arrangement
uses the high duty version
of the SBOP backup seal to
provide operational security
without the expense of a
liquid buffer system. In the
event of failure of the inner
seal, the SBOP will prevent
loss of the pumped fluid to
the atmosphere. This can be
detected by use of a pressure
switch.

Type RRDP Typical Arrangement

This dual pressurized (double)

arrangement consists of two
seals face to face and operating
on a barrier liquid. Any leakage
from the inner seal will be of
barrier fluid into the pumped
product. The inner seal includes
a double balance line for
reverse pressure protection.

Note: The above seals are normally designed to suit a particular machine or application. For approximate installation dimensions, consult John Crane.

The basic pressure rating is for a standard seal, as shown in the typical arrangement, when installed according to the
criteria given in this data sheet and generally accepted industrial practices.
The basic pressure rating assumes stable operation at 3600 rpm in a clean, cool, lubricating, non-volatile liquid with
an adequate flush rate. When used with the multiplier factors, the basic pressure rating can be adjusted to provide
a conservative estimate of the dynamic pressure rating. For process services outside this range or a more accurate
assessment of the dynamic pressure rating, contact John Crane for more information.
