A mechanical seal is a vital component in rotating equipment designed to prevent fluid leakage between a rotating shaft and its stationary housing. This type of seal consists of a rotating ring attached to the shaft and a stationary ring fixed to the equipment housing, with both rings compressed together by a spring mechanism

Mechanical seals are critical components in centrifugal pumps that prevent leakage of the pumped fluid. When these seals fail, it can lead to a wide range of problems that affect the performance, reliability and lifespan of the pump. This article examines in detail the various consequences that can occur due to mechanical seal failure in centrifugal pumps
