Failure Of Mechanical Shaft Seals
Failure of the mechanical shaft seal is the most common cause of pump downtime. The shaft
seal is exposed to widely varying operating conditions. Sometimes operating conditions
change to become quite different from the specific conditions for which the seal was intended.

The Impact of Curve Shape, Head-Rise to Shutoff and “Zero Tolerances” on Equipment Selection, Reliability, & Pricing and on Downstream Equipment (Session 2)
An increasing number of pump or project specifications are assuming (or even specifying) a head rise to shutoff of as little as10 to 15%.
This (wrong) assumption can lead to the oversizing of pump and motor equipment and subsequent poor performance in the field.
