 It is possible to classify  mechanical seals  in several ways. However, here we are going to classify them based on the basic criterion; balanced type mechanical seals and  unbalanced mechanical seals . There are three different  types of mechanical seals  which are commonly used in the process: Cartridge, Component, Air . Before we classify, let’s understand the term ‘Mechanical Seal Balance’.

They can be classified into several categories. Here, we will study the classification of mechanical seals by arrangement. Read More:   Classification of Mechanical Seals by Arrangement
