ƒ Reliability
ƒ Low leakage
ƒ Long life
ƒ Cost effective
API-682 1st Ed. Significance?
ƒ 1st Edition released in 1994.
ƒ Few US customers have specified seals as pure 682
1st Ed. compliant.
ƒ API-682 1st Ed. sales growing slowly primarily through
international projects.
ƒ Still generally limited understanding and use of the
specification.
ƒ Market unwilling to accept cost impact associated
with technical requirements of the specification.
Why Expect 2nd Ed. Significance?
ƒ 2nd Ed. is broad based in scope versus 1st Ed. which
was a very narrow high end specification.
ƒ As a stand alone seal standard, 682 2nd Ed. is being
coordinated with the elimination of seal specification
criteria within API–610.
ƒ Much less restrictive, allowing consistency with
current practices and ultimately less costly
arrangement alternatives.
API 682 Specification
Strongly encourage your customers to buy an official copy of the
specification or where appropriate offer a complimentary copy.

Questions and Answers
EAA cust
What is API 682?
ƒ Seal standard issued by: American Petroleum
Institute
ƒ Scope includes: Seals for centrifugal and
rotary pumps
ƒ API 610
ƒ API 670
ƒ 1st edition 1994
ƒ 2nd edition May, 2002
How do 2nd Edition & 1st Edition differ?
ƒ Categories
ƒ Category1 is for chemical duty
ƒ Category 2 is for refinery duty
ƒ Old “682 Light”
ƒ Traditional “API 610” seals
ƒ Category 3 is same as 1st edition API 682
ƒ Gas barrier seals
ƒ Containment seals
Who wrote API 682?
ƒ An industry Task Force comprising of:
ƒ End Users
ƒ Chemical plants
ƒ Refineries
ƒ Pump OEM
ƒ Seal OEM
ƒ API Committees
Who must use API 682?
ƒ No one is required to use API 682 but many
industries adopt the standard in full or as part of
their operating specification in an editit format
(Shell PI for instance)
ƒ Refineries will be the biggest users
ƒ Chemical plants are now covered in the
standard
When does API 682 Take Effect?
ƒ After publication (July, 2002)
ƒ Or when invoked by the customer or contractor
What are the advantages of using API 682?
ƒ Consistency of approach to seal selection and
application
ƒ Qualification testing
ƒ Air integrity test prior to shipment
ƒ Provides high degree of probability in providing
(3) years of uninterrupted service while
complying with emission regulations
What are the disadvantages of using API 682?
ƒ “Heavy Duty”
ƒ Cost: Some features specified may result in a higher
expense to the purchaser than seals and systems
previously used.
ƒ Require more radial and axial space
ƒ Paper work
Is API 682 a metric standard?
ƒ Yes though imperial is the default units
ƒ Imperial units are typical in USA
Can the purchaser modify or make additions to
API 682?
ƒ Yes
ƒ Strong set of defaults in API 682
ƒ Allows for user choices
ƒ Users will write their own exceptions and
clarifications to API 682
How are Materials Specified?
ƒ Specified through detailed coding
ƒ Default materials are completely specified
ƒ Limited optional materials available that comply
ƒ Materials have not changed from 1st edition, but
codes used will not match old API 610 material
codes
Are there substitutes for face materials?
ƒ No, must be a tested material
ƒ Rules for “tested material” relaxed somewhat
ƒ John Crane will have additional tested materials,
ie, materials that have been tested and meet the
test requirements of API, even though they may
not be defined options in the standard
What Testing is Required?
ƒ Qualification
ƒ Specific liquids
ƒ Nominal 2” and 4” seals
ƒ Publication of results, with pass or fail criteria
ƒ Hydrotest
ƒ Glands not required to be hydrotested unless cast (previously all
glands needed testing)
ƒ Integrity (air test) on assembly
ƒ 25 psig
Must a seal be tested on all fluids?
ƒ Seals should be tested on the fluids they are expected to
work on
ƒ 5 test fluids
ƒ Water
ƒ Propane
ƒ Caustic
ƒ Hot Oil
ƒ Cold oil
ƒ Qualification testing on representative fluid
How do we retrofit seals into older pumps?
ƒ It is expected that there will sometimes
dimensional problems, due to ‘minimum’
specification:
ƒ 1/8” (3.175mm) minimum sleeve thickness
ƒ 1/8” (3.175mm) general radial clearances
ƒ 1/16” (1.587mm) radial clearance for pumping rings
ƒ Old pumps, or equipment with minimum space
may have to take design exceptions
What is the equivalent code for BSTFL?
ƒ There is no exact equivalent in 682
ƒ New set of codes for API 682 2nd edition
ƒ 2nd edition codes not same as 1st edition
ƒ 682 codes not same as 610 codes
ƒ If customer references an old 610 code
ƒ Probably wants a Category II seal as this is the
closest definition of a historical 610 seal
ƒ There is no direct cross reference possible
How are ANSI / ISO (DIN) Pumps catered for?
ƒ Category I seals are designed for ANSI / ISO
(DIN) large bore
ƒ Special features include
ƒ Register fit
ƒ Throttle bushing
ƒ Drilled bolt holes in gland
Does API 682 include Rotary Pumps?
ƒ Yes but:
ƒ Seal chamber specified for rotary pumps / PD
pumps do not match those in API682 (API676)
Can a customer purchase dry gas seals per
API 682?
ƒ Yes, where it is a dry gas seal for pumps not
compressors, it falls into the following
categories:
ƒ Gas barrier seals
ƒ Containment seals
ƒ New piping plans cover these arrangements
ƒ 71, 72, 75, 76 for containment seals
ƒ 74 for gas barrier seals
What arrangement are dry running
containment seals and dry gas seals?
ƒ Gas barrier seals are Arrangement 3
ƒ Containment seals are Arrangement 2
Must barrier pressure for dual pressurized seals be
constantly controlled versus seal chamber pressure?
ƒ Barrier pressure does not have to track process
pressure
ƒ Plan 53C is an option that tracks process
pressure
What reference is there in API 610 for Seals?
ƒ Whilst API 610, 8th Ed. edition did include limited
seal information, 9th Ed. will not have seal specs;
instead refers to API 682
ƒ If API 610 is referenced, you must now assume
9th Ed. unless otherwise another edition is
specified
Must Data Sheets be Completed?
ƒ Too comply with the requirements of 2nd Ed Yes
seal data sheets must be filled out
ƒ 2nd Edition uses a two page datasheet
ƒ 1st Edition was five pages
ƒ But smaller print in 2nd
Edition
ƒ Data sheet is initiated by purchaser, not JC, and
is different between category 1 & 2, and
category 3
Who Completes the Data Sheet?
ƒ Data sheet is initiated by purchaser O
ƒ Seal vendor info added to info by purchaser
ƒ Some items by either vendor or purchaser
ƒ Defaults marked with shading
ƒ The seal vendor cannot begin with a blank
data sheet!
ƒ John Crane CSelect682 will complete the application
part of the data sheet automatically, and will allow you to
complete the rest electronically.
What is an Engineered Seal?
ƒ Seal Types are really just A, B, C
ƒ Part of “Totally Engineered Sealing System”
ƒ Outside the scope of API 682
ƒ Temperature, pressure, speed, fluids, etc.
ƒ Optional testing per Clause 10.3.1.1.2
ƒ Design features
ƒ Conceivably anything
ƒ Probably based on API 682

    API 2nd Edition– Benefits ƒ Consistency of approach ƒ Proven practices ƒ Qualification tested ƒ International in scope ƒ Results ƒ Reliability ƒ Low leakage ƒ Long life ƒ Cost effective
  • 15.
    API-682 1st Ed.Significance? ƒ 1st Edition released in 1994. ƒ Few US customers have specified seals as pure 682 1st Ed. compliant. ƒ API-682 1st Ed. sales growing slowly primarily through international projects. ƒ Still generally limited understanding and use of the specification. ƒ Market unwilling to accept cost impact associated with technical requirements of the specification.
  • 16.
    Why Expect 2ndEd. Significance? ƒ 2nd Ed. is broad based in scope versus 1st Ed. which was a very narrow high end specification. ƒ As a stand alone seal standard, 682 2nd Ed. is being coordinated with the elimination of seal specification criteria within API–610. ƒ Much less restrictive, allowing consistency with current practices and ultimately less costly arrangement alternatives.

  • 174.
    How do 2ndEdition & 1st Edition differ? ƒ Categories ƒ Category1 is for chemical duty ƒ Category 2 is for refinery duty ƒ Old “682 Light” ƒ Traditional “API 610” seals ƒ Category 3 is same as 1st edition API 682 ƒ Gas barrier seals ƒ Containment seals
  • 175.
    Who wrote API682? ƒ An industry Task Force comprising of: ƒ End Users ƒ Chemical plants ƒ Refineries ƒ Pump OEM ƒ Seal OEM ƒ API Committees
  • 176.
    Who must useAPI 682? ƒ No one is required to use API 682 but many industries adopt the standard in full or as part of their operating specification in an editit format (Shell PI for instance) ƒ Refineries will be the biggest users ƒ Chemical plants are now covered in the standard
  • 177.
    When does API682 Take Effect? ƒ After publication (July, 2002) ƒ Or when invoked by the customer or contractor
  • 178.
    What are theadvantages of using API 682? ƒ Consistency of approach to seal selection and application ƒ Qualification testing ƒ Air integrity test prior to shipment ƒ Provides high degree of probability in providing (3) years of uninterrupted service while complying with emission regulations
  • 179.
    What are thedisadvantages of using API 682? ƒ “Heavy Duty” ƒ Cost: Some features specified may result in a higher expense to the purchaser than seals and systems previously used. ƒ Require more radial and axial space ƒ Paper work
  • 180.
    Is API 682a metric standard? ƒ Yes though imperial is the default units ƒ Imperial units are typical in USA
  • 181.
    Can the purchasermodify or make additions to API 682? ƒ Yes ƒ Strong set of defaults in API 682 ƒ Allows for user choices ƒ Users will write their own exceptions and clarifications to API 682
  • 182.
    How are MaterialsSpecified? ƒ Specified through detailed coding ƒ Default materials are completely specified ƒ Limited optional materials available that comply ƒ Materials have not changed from 1st edition, but codes used will not match old API 610 material codes
  • 183.
    Are there substitutesfor face materials? ƒ No, must be a tested material ƒ Rules for “tested material” relaxed somewhat ƒ John Crane will have additional tested materials, ie, materials that have been tested and meet the test requirements of API, even though they may not be defined options in the standard
  • 184.
    What Testing isRequired? ƒ Qualification ƒ Specific liquids ƒ Nominal 2” and 4” seals ƒ Publication of results, with pass or fail criteria ƒ Hydrotest ƒ Glands not required to be hydrotested unless cast (previously all glands needed testing) ƒ Integrity (air test) on assembly ƒ 25 psig
  • 185.
    Must a sealbe tested on all fluids? ƒ Seals should be tested on the fluids they are expected to work on ƒ 5 test fluids ƒ Water ƒ Propane ƒ Caustic ƒ Hot Oil ƒ Cold oil ƒ Qualification testing on representative fluid
  • 186.
    How do weretrofit seals into older pumps? ƒ It is expected that there will sometimes dimensional problems, due to ‘minimum’ specification: ƒ 1/8” (3.175mm) minimum sleeve thickness ƒ 1/8” (3.175mm) general radial clearances ƒ 1/16” (1.587mm) radial clearance for pumping rings ƒ Old pumps, or equipment with minimum space may have to take design exceptions
  • 187.
    What is theequivalent code for BSTFL? ƒ There is no exact equivalent in 682 ƒ New set of codes for API 682 2nd edition ƒ 2nd edition codes not same as 1st edition ƒ 682 codes not same as 610 codes ƒ If customer references an old 610 code ƒ Probably wants a Category II seal as this is the closest definition of a historical 610 seal ƒ There is no direct cross reference possible
  • 188.
    How are ANSI/ ISO (DIN) Pumps catered for? ƒ Category I seals are designed for ANSI / ISO (DIN) large bore ƒ Special features include ƒ Register fit ƒ Throttle bushing ƒ Drilled bolt holes in gland
  • 189.
    Does API 682include Rotary Pumps? ƒ Yes but: ƒ Seal chamber specified for rotary pumps / PD pumps do not match those in API682 (API676)
  • 190.
    Can a customerpurchase dry gas seals per API 682? ƒ Yes, where it is a dry gas seal for pumps not compressors, it falls into the following categories: ƒ Gas barrier seals ƒ Containment seals ƒ New piping plans cover these arrangements ƒ 71, 72, 75, 76 for containment seals ƒ 74 for gas barrier seals
  • 191.
    What arrangement aredry running containment seals and dry gas seals? ƒ Gas barrier seals are Arrangement 3 ƒ Containment seals are Arrangement 2
  • 192.
    Must barrier pressurefor dual pressurized seals be constantly controlled versus seal chamber pressure? ƒ Barrier pressure does not have to track process pressure ƒ Plan 53C is an option that tracks process pressure
  • 193.
    What reference isthere in API 610 for Seals? ƒ Whilst API 610, 8th Ed. edition did include limited seal information, 9th Ed. will not have seal specs; instead refers to API 682 ƒ If API 610 is referenced, you must now assume 9th Ed. unless otherwise another edition is specified
  • 194.
    Must Data Sheetsbe Completed? ƒ Too comply with the requirements of 2nd Ed Yes seal data sheets must be filled out ƒ 2nd Edition uses a two page datasheet ƒ 1st Edition was five pages ƒ But smaller print in 2nd Edition ƒ Data sheet is initiated by purchaser, not JC, and is different between category 1 & 2, and category 3
  • 195.
    Who Completes theData Sheet? ƒ Data sheet is initiated by purchaser O ƒ Seal vendor info added to info by purchaser ƒ Some items by either vendor or purchaser ƒ Defaults marked with shading ƒ The seal vendor cannot begin with a blank data sheet! ƒ John Crane CSelect682 will complete the application part of the data sheet automatically, and will allow you to complete the rest electronically.
  • 196.
    What is anEngineered Seal? ƒ Seal Types are really just A, B, C ƒ Part of “Totally Engineered Sealing System” ƒ Outside the scope of API 682 ƒ Temperature, pressure, speed, fluids, etc. ƒ Optional testing per Clause 10.3.1.1.2 ƒ Design features ƒ Conceivably anything ƒ Probably based on API 682
