Talk:End-face mechanical seal

This article needs to be renamed to avoid confustion with Seal (mechanical).

Seal (rotating face)? Mechanical seal (rotating)? --Duk 22:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Good point. I was not aware of the Seal (mechanical) article until you pointed it out. I see that that article covers things that are not what we are calling "Mechanical Seals" here.

In the industries that use these seals they are variously called: Face seals, Rotary Face Seals, Rotary Seals, Bellows Seals, Spring Seals, Cartridge Seals, Gearbox Seals, Hard Face Seals, Gas Seals, Pusher Seals, Non-Pusher Seals, Split Seal, Type 1 Seals, Type 21 Seals, Balanced Seals, Non-Balanced seals, and a whole lot more that I can't think of at the moment.

Rotating Face Mechanical Seal is about as generic a term as you can get. I would have no objection to renaming the article to something like that and perhaps using a dis-ambiguity page to distinguish it from the Seal (mechanical) article.--gargoyle888 01:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, done --Duk 05:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, "Rotating face mechanical seal" is not a particularly good title for this article. The more complete and descriptive terminology is "end face mechanical seal". "End face mechanical seal" is likely to be used in patents and scientific publications although "mechanical face seal" is also often used. The Fluid Sealing Association uses "end face mechanical seal" as the preferred terminology in their glossary. For now, I've not attempted to change the title of this article (probably can't) but have added wording in the first paragraph as though the title were "End Face Mechanical Seals".

no objections here. --Duk 18:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Go for it. After all, Wikipedia encourages you to WP:BB--gargoyle888 12:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Changed title to "End face mechanical seal" as discussed. Gordon 18:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

ELs

Shouldn't the link list at the end of the article also contain a link to EagleBurgmann (http://www.eagleburgmann.com)? There are entries for other major manufacturers, and Burgmann belongs right there with them, in my opinion. Just not sure about link lists... WhiteCorax (talk) 13:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the link spam. Wizard191 (talk) 14:47, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm unsure about the changes made by user Ultrarodnei. The external reference seems to be from the deleted link spam and should be removed, I believe. However I'm not so sure about the changes he did to the history. Is what happened to the inventor of mechanical seals relevant to this article or is it considered spam? WhiteCorax (talk) 07:19, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I have reverted his changes. I don't think this is the right place to go into detail about the inventor. If the inventor is notable enough then start an article on him and add the information there. Wizard191 (talk) 14:20, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Advantages and Disadvantages would be good and typing mechanical seal into wikipedia does not lead to this page even though the page clearly states that it is sometimes called a mechanical seal. Would do all that myself if I knew how and had the time. ok thanks 86.14.39.133 (talk) 14:18, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Fuyang Hengmi Seal Manufacturing Co Ltd manufactures most kinds of mechanical seals. There are about forty series and one thousand sizes for selection. And the products are widely used for water pumps, industrial pumps, chemical pumps, auto pumps and so on. They can mostly take place those products of famous brand, but with very lower prices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.100.59.136 (talk) 07:05, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
