Pump packing is a high maintenance item for any centrifugal pump so equipped, and unacceptable for chemical pumping applications. This paper covers how service centers can convert a pump from packing to mechanical seals to:

• Eliminate a maintenance issue for customers
• Allow an available pump to be put into alternate service requiring mechanical seals

This paper is an overview of such a conversion on a 50 hp split-case pump.
