- Greater reliability and installation ease assured by rugged components, heavy duty seal faces, and cartridge seal configuration
- Satisfies all API 682 design and qualification test requirements for single and dual arrangement seals
- Optimal face cooling and reduced distortion with available multiport injection
- Increased safety and environmental compliance assured by dual seal arrangement, which provides for safety backup and emissions control in hazardous services
- Longer equipment life and reliability from design that runs cooler and is less sensitive to vapor pressure margin, even under upset conditions
- Combat dirty services with the clog-resistant large, single coil spring in the QBS seal
- Handle low lubricity hot water without the need for auxiliary cooling systems with the QBU seal
- Handle vaporizing hydrocarbons with the QBQ seal
- Handle low vapor pressure margin with the QBQ LZ seal, featuring Precision Face Topography wave pattern on the stationary seal face
- Low to moderate pressurized barrier dual seal applications are handled by the QBB face-to-back configuration
- Moderate and high pressure pressurized dual seal applications, including Piping Plan 53B, are handled by the QB2B back-to-back configuration
- Choice of throttle bushing design: fixed, floating, or segmented
