API PLAN 52/API PLAN 53A Reservoirs
Basic Features
- Measuring Media: Compatible with variable buffer fluid (PLAN 52) & barrier fluid(PLAN 53A)
- Function: These reservoir-based seal support systems are designed for both API Plan 52 and 53A applications to support unpressurized and pressurized dual seals. Circulation of barrier fluid is normally achieved with a pumping ring (or optional circulating pump), and a range of heat exchangers can be packaged with the system — selection dependent on available plant utilities.
- Application: Process pumps
- Standard: API 682 / ISO 21049
- Model NO.: PLAN-52(Un-Pressurized) and PLAN-53A (Pressurized)
Product Detailed Description
API Plan 52 and API Plan 53-A is designed in accordance with API 682. Standard tubing or welded pipe construction and optional flanged connection. In a Plan 52, the pressure switch is set to activate on increasing pressure and indicates an increase in leakage or a failure of the primary seal. Plan 53A is a pressurized plan where pressure is being induced by means of external pressure source such as plant nitrogen header.
