About this product

The advanced GTS seal is designed to handle real world steam applications providing the benefits of a mechanical seal in sealing steam turbines.

Features and Benefitss

• Laser-applied Precision Face Topography Waves create a non-contacting, non-clogging gas film between the seal faces resulting in outstanding seal life

• Fully bidirectional design enables the same design to be used on both ends of double ended steam turbines

• Unique Spring Energized Graphite (SEG) secondary seals provide both high temperature capability and zero leak-by while also minimizing seal face distortions

• Heat treated Alloy 718 bellows handles high steam temperatures and maintains a light contact load on the seal faces which assures low steam leakage and zero seal face wear

• Internal and external mount configurations enable fitment in most steam turbines with little or no equipment modifications
