The 10k27 mechanical seal is a heavy-duty, welded metal bellows face seal designed specifically for top-entry reactor agitators in chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical processes. It serves as a direct OEM replacement for common reactor seals, offering superior resistance to thermal cycling, high pressure, and corrosive media. With a temperature range up to 400°C (752°F) and available in Hastelloy® C276 or Inconel® 625 bellows, this metal bellows mechanical seal ensures leak-free operation even under vacuum or reverse pressure conditions. Whether you need a standard size or custom configuration, the 10k27 seal delivers reliable performance in glass-lined, stainless steel, and alloy reactors.
Key Features
• Reactor-Specific Design: The 10k27 mechanical seal is engineered to handle the significant shaft runout and deflection common in top-entry mixers and reactors, reducing face wear and extending seal life.
• High-Alloy Construction: Features Inconel® 718 or Hastelloy® C-276 bellows to withstand aggressive chemical reactions, high temperatures up to 400°C, and corrosive attack from acids, chlorides, and solvents.
• Gas or Liquid Lubricated: Available in dry-running gas seal configurations for toxic or ultra-pure processes, or wet-lubricated designs for standard reactor duties. Both options maintain zero or near-zero emissions.
• Large Axial Movement Capacity: The deep-convolution bellows design provides ±3 mm or more axial compensation, accommodating thermal expansion of the reactor vessel during heating and cooling cycles without overloading the seal faces.
• Reverse Pressure Capability: The 10k27 mechanical seal holds pressure from either the process side or the barrier fluid side, ensuring safe operation during startup, shutdown, and upset conditions when differential pressure reverses.

FAQs about 10k27 Metal Face Mechanical Seals for Reactor
Q: Can this seal handle dry running during tank emptying?
A: If configured with dry-running Carbon faces or as a gas seal, yes. Standard liquid-lubricated faces require a barrier fluid system (Plan 53/54) to survive dry running.
Q: What is the difference between a 10k27 mechanical seal and a standard pusher seal?
A: The 10k27 uses a welded metal bellows instead of a spring and dynamic O-ring. This eliminates hysteresis and sticking, making it ideal for high-temperature, high-viscosity, or fouling services where pusher seals often fail.
Q: Can the 10k27 seal be used for dry running or intermittent operation?
A: Standard configurations require liquid film lubrication. For intermittent dry running or start-up conditions, we recommend selecting a silicon carbide vs carbon face combination and confirming with our engineering team.
Q: Is the 10k27 mechanical seal interchangeable with John Crane type 27 or EagleBurgmann H7N?
A: Yes. The 10k27 follows the same envelope dimensions as industry-standard types 27, H7N, and equivalent reactor seals. We provide cross-reference sheets upon request.
Q: What buffer/barrier fluid system do you recommend for this seal?
A: For most reactor applications, API Plan 53A or 54 with water/glycol mixture is recommended. Contact us for a complete flush plan recommendation based on your operating parameters.
