Future Prospects of Mechanical Seals

In terms of type, the mechanical seal market can be divided into conventional seal, push seal, non push seal, unbalanced seal, balanced seal, box seal and so on. Push type seals are cheap and commercially available in a variety of sizes and configurations. The balanced mechanical seal has the ability to bear high pressure and it is suitable for handling the liquid with low lubricating ability. The cartridge seal used in the pump has a lower maintenance cost and reduces seal setting errors.

Classification and application of mechanical seal

Based on the arrangement, the mechanical seal market can be divided into single seal and double seal. The market share of double seals accounts for a large share of the global mechanical seal market. The demand for double seals is higher than for single seals because they can effectively handle toxic and harmful liquids, suspended abrasives and corrosive substances.

In terms of the end use industry, the mechanical seal market can be divided into chemical processing, HVAC, food and beverage, ocean, mining and ore processing, oil and gas, agriculture, steel, water and waste water and so on. The utilization rate of mechanical seal in oil and gas industry is improved. The oil and gas seal greatly saves fluid loss, downtime, sealing and maintenance work. Mechanical seals are widely used in harsh conditions, such as drilling and fresh water distribution, lift stations, and waste water treatment in the water and waste water industries. In the HVAC industry, the introduction of mechanical seals in cooling towers, hot and cold water, circulating pumps, booster pumps, boiler feed water and fire pumps is also expected to boost the global mechanical seal market.

Mechanical seal market: regional outlook

Geographically, the global mechanical seal market can be divided into North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Due to the rapid industrialization of developing economies, such as China, Japan and South Korea, the Asia Pacific region accounts for the main share of the global mechanical seal market. It is expected that in the next few years, the development of chemical processing and waste and waste water treatment industries will promote the demand for mechanical seals in the Asia Pacific region. Due to the development of infrastructure and the continuous development of HVAC industry in these areas, North America and Europe have an important share in the global mechanical seal market. Due to the expansion of the oil and gas industry in the region, the demand for the global mechanical seal market in the Middle East is expected to increase.
