A
failure analysis is performed on every seal to determine why the seal
failed. We will always make any necessary suggestions that will lead
to increased seal life. All seal repairs are given serial numbers and
can be tracked on our database for determining Mean Time between Failure,
and seal cost evaluation. |

All
seal components are completely cleaned, measured, pressure tested,
and inspected by the engineering department to determine which parts
can be re-used, or require replacement. |

faces are lapped to within industry standards (2 light bands) on one
