Performance Capabilities

The Type 58U and 58B are multi-spring DIN

24960/EN 12756 seals. They are versatile
designs using components common to other oring and wedge type seals. They allow easy
repair, reduce inventory, and permit a simple
conversion to unbalanced or wedge seals.

Temperature:
-40C to +260C/40F to +500F
depending on materials used

For use in general and high pressure sealing

duties, including chemical processing, refinery and
petrochemical plants.
Complies with International Standard ISO 3069,
European Standards EN 12756, DIN 24960, and BS
5257 1975. Also comply with API 610
specifications.

Design Features
Hydraulically Balanced Seal Face Gives Lower
Face loading at High Pressure.
Multiple Spring Arrangement Ensures Even
Loading of Seal Face.

Pressure:
Type 58U up to 17 bar g/250psig
Type 58B up to 62 bar g/900psig
Speed:
Up to 25m/s/5000fpm

Chart 5. Speed Limits

Rotating seals may be used at speeds up to 5000 rpm
according to seal size. Above the limit shown, it is necessary
to stationary mount the seal unit and use a rotating seat. This
would necessitate a special arrangement and would not
conform ti DIN 24960

To determine maximum pressure for the size of Type 58U or

Type 58B seao required, multiply the pressure obtained from
this chart by the appropriate factors given in Chart 6.

Example for Determining PV Limits:

Seal: 80 mm diameter Type 58B
Product: Crude oil
Face materials: Carbidon v tungsten carbide
Operating temperature: 35C/95F
Operating speed: 2950 rpm
Using Chart 4, the maximum pressure would be 28 bar g
From Chart 6, apply the multiplier factors for the specific
service requirements.
28 bar g x 0.85 x 1.00 x 1.00 x 1.00
= 23.8 bar g
Therefore, for the example given, the maximum operating
pressure is 23.8 bar g.
The operating parameters shown can be exceeded for certain
applications. If the required operating pressure is greater
than the calculated PV limit, please consult your John Crane
Sales/Service Engineer.

for water duties the temperature should not exceed +135 C/275 F
for water/stream duties the temperature should not exceed +150 C/300 F
