Example of determining pressure rating limits:
Consideration Factor Seal: 50.8 mm/2.0" diameter Type 5615

kerosene or better Face materials: Silicon carbide vs. silicon carbide
Sealed fluid lubricity

(specific gravity ≤0.65), etc.
From the Multiplier Factors table on the left, apply the multipliers for
the specific service requirements to determine the maximum operating

Application Criteria
The Type 5615 cartridge seals may be customized for specific
installations after review and evaluation by John Crane. The following
data is needed to evaluate the proposed service:
• Make and model of equipment • Process fluid
• Shaft or sleeve OD – Specific gravity
• Direction of shaft rotation – Box pressure
viewed from drive end – Vapor pressure
• Seal cavity dimensions – Temperature
• Speed – Viscosity
• Quench fluid (if applicable)
