By tracking and providing failure analysis on mechanical seals the user will be able to identify specific and repetitive problems from which an improvement plan can be established to remedy the problems, resulting in longer seal life and improved MTBF.
Example of Seal Failure Tracking

- Abrasive behavior in a regular seal chamber

- Abrasive behavior in a regular seal chamber with SPIRAL TRAC
