The picture shows an ALC centrifugal pump which had been broken down due to the failure of the joint ring.
Most of the process plant performs replacement and inspection on the mechanical seal. Joint ring is equally important as any leakage will cause infection of bacteria or contamination and it is more critical if it is installed after the final heating section of the food processing plant.
Hence, the rule of thumb is ensuring the joint ring is in good condition while performing inspection on the condition of mechanical seal.
