Understanding the differences between mechanical seals and pump

For years, pump packing has been used to minimize leakage; however, with the technology evolution, mechanical seals have come into play for reducing leakage and minimizing the space between the shaft and pump housing. Both pump packing and mechanical seals are effective and useful. The selection mainly depends on personal preference and requirement specifications. However, mechanical seals are highly preferred by industries due to their significant advantages over pump packing. Those advantages are low maintenance, cost-effectiveness, higher leakage prevention, and longer service life.
