Design Features

Product Description
The Universal Cartridge 5600-1 Series is a modular
cartridge seal family that includes interchangeable,
Sealol metal bellows and elastomer o-ring pusher seal
designs specifically conforming to API 682.

The Types 5610Q-1/5620P-1/5620D-1 are API-enhanced

versions of John Cranes industry-proven Universal
Cartridge Seal. These single and dual o-ring pusher
cartridge seals are fully conforming to API 682 and
are qualification tested. The Type 5610Q-1 single
seal typically controls fugitive emissions to less than
500 ppm.
Enhanced ANSI and DIN pump seals for the chemical
and oil & gas industries for hydrocarbon and other
services as defined by API 682 Type A, Category 1
duties. This includes heavy and light hydrocarbons,
lubricating liquids, aqueous solutions, chemicals and
some acids.
Primary and mating ring reverse balance designs allow
for ID or OD pressurization, as required for operation as
a dual unpressurized Arrangement 2 or dual pressurized
Arrangement 3.

Sealol is a registered trademark of John Crane Inc.

The Basic Pressure Rating is for a standard seal, as shown in the

typical arrangement, when installed according to the criteria given in
this data sheet and generally accepted industrial practices.
The Basic Pressure Rating assumes stable operation at the speeds
indicated on the above chart in a clean, cool, lubricating, nonvolatile
liquid with an adequate flush rate. When used with the multiplier
factors, the Basic Pressure Rating can be adjusted to provide a
conservative estimate of the dynamic pressure rating.
For process services outside this range or a more accurate
assessment of the dynamic pressure rating, contact John Crane for
more information.

* Buffer/barrier fluid pressure relative to seal chamber pressure (API Plan 52 or 53) determines usage of the cartridge. As a dual
unpressurized, the buffer pressure is lower than process pressure; or as a dual pressurized, the barrier pressure is higher than
process fluid pressure to be sealed.
** John Crane Engineering recommends barrier fluids having a viscosity less than 14cSt/65 SSU and fluid lubricity that is equal to
or better than water at 38C/100F.
*** Inboard seal (process side) internal pressure rating is defined as the barrier fluid pressure minus the seal chamber throat pressure.

*The ratio of sealed pressure to vapor pressure must be greater than 1.5, otherwise
consult John Crane. If the specific gravity is less than 0.60, consult John Crane.

Example for Determining Pressure Rating Limits:

Seal: 54mm/2.125" diameter Type 5610Q-1
Product: Aqueous Solution
Face Materials: Silicon Carbide vs. Silicon Carbide
Operating Temperature: 80C/175F
Operating Speed: 2950 rpm
Using the Pressure Rating Limits graph, the maximum
pressure would be 18.5 bar g/268 psig.
From the Multiplier Factors chart, apply the multiplier for the
specific service requirements to determine the maximum
operating pressure for the application:
18.5 bar g/268 psig x 0.75 = 13.9 bar g/201 psig
The maximum operating pressure for this 54mm/2.125" Type
5610Q-1 is 13.9 bar g/201 psig.
