4 Inspection and Reconditioning

There are certain critical areas of each part where special attention should be
paid to the condition. If any of the listed areas show signs of wear, corrosion
or other defects that cannot be removed without affecting the dimensional size
of the surfaces by more than 0.001 - 0.002 inch [0.025 - 0.05 mm], then the
respective part should be replaced. If grit blasting is performed, polish the O-ring
surfaces to achieve the required surface finish [see critical area listings for finish
requirements]. If any parts require machining to correct damage, please contact
your Flowserve representative for dimensional requirements, or for any other
questions regarding repair.

6 Seal Assembly Instructions

Some assembly steps include blind fits of pins and drive flats. Mark the locations
of the pins or drive flats with a felt tip marker, or align the feature with another
visible feature on the seal to assist with assembly. All seal faces should be
cleaned with ethyl alcohol prior to placing the faces together at each respective
step in the assembly process.
6.1 Arrange O-rings by diametrical size. There are four sizes total: quantity 1
of the largest size O-ring [18.1]; quantity 6 of the 2nd largest size O-ring
[13], [13.1], [13.2], [13.3], [76], and [76.1]; quantity 1 of the 2nd smallest
size O-ring [19]; and quantity 1 of the smallest size O-ring [71]. Prior to

installing each O-ring at its respective step,

lightly lubricate with silicone grease and
stretch slightly.
6.2 Place the sleeve assembly [1] on the work Figure 10
surface with the drive end [set screw holes]
positioned upward.
For sizes ≤ 2.750 inch (70 mm) install the
vibration dampener [183] into the back
counterbore of the sleeve assembly [1]. See
Figure 10.
For sizes > 2.750 inch (70 mm) install the
square-headed pin [5] into the hole on the
Figure 11
counterbore of the sleeve assembly. Cut
a 0.25 inch (6 mm) slot in the vibration
dampener [183]. See Figure 11. Install
into the sleeve assembly [1] with the slot
positioned where the drive pin is located.
6.3 Select rotating face O-ring [76] and stretch
slightly. Lightly lubricate the O-ring and install
it into the sleeve assembly [1]. See Figure 12. Figure 12
7 
 6.4 Select rotating face [15] and lightly lubricate the
O-ring surface. Install the rotating face [15] into
the sleeve assembly [1]. Use hand pressure
only. See Figure 13.
For sizes ≤ 2.750 inch (70 mm) ensure that the
flats on the rotating face are aligned with the flats
on the sleeve. Figure 13
For sizes > 2.750 inch (70 mm) ensure that the
drive slots on the rotating face are aligned with
the square-headed drive pin in the sleeve.
6.5 Check for proper seating of the rotating face
by measuring from the back of the sleeve
assembly to the face of the rotating face with
a caliper or micrometer. Measure in 3 equally Figure 14
spaced locations; measurement variations
should not exceed 0.005 inch (0.127 mm).
6.6 Clean the sealing face of the rotating face [15]
to remove any dirt, dust, fingerprints or any other
residue using alcohol on a clean cloth or tissue.
6.7 Select O-ring [13] and lightly lubricate it. Install the
O-ring onto the stationary face [14]. See Figure 14.
Figure 15
6.8 Select the stationary face support [100] and the
square-headed pins [5]. Dab silicone grease on
the tip of each pin before inserting into the
stationary face support to assist keeping the
pins in place. See Figure 15.
6.9 Install the stationary face support [100] onto the
stationary face [14], maintaining alignment of the
pins in the stationary face support with the slots in
the stationary face [14]. Inspect for proper pin
engagement. See Figure 16. Note: for ease of
installing the stationary face support, a light Figure 16
coating of silicone grease may be applied to
the O-ring bore.
6.10 Dab one end of the springs [16] in silicone grease
and insert the greased end into the holes in the
stationary face support [100]. See Figure 17.
Silicone grease helps hold the springs in place
but careful handling remains essential.
6.11 Clean the sealing face of the stationary face [14]
to remove any dirt, dust, fingerprints or any other Figure 17
residue using alcohol on a clean cloth or tissue.

8
6.12 Install the stationary face support assembly face
down onto the sleeve assembly as shown in Figure
18. Lightly lubricate the area where the stationary
face O-ring [13.1] contacts the stationary face
support [100].
6.13 Before installing any O-rings in either the inner
gland [11] or stationary face support assembly,
Figure 18
assemble the two by aligning the pins and the
pin slots. Mark both parts in line with a marker
or pencil, one on the inner gland [11] OD close
to the stationary face support OD and one on the
stationary face support [100]. This will provide an
alignment guide to the pins during assembly of the
seal.
Figure 19
6.14 Select stationary face support O-ring [13.1], stretch
slightly and lightly lubricate. Lightly lubricate the
area in the inner gland [11] where the O-ring
contacts. Install the O-ring into the inner gland [11]
as shown in Figure 19.
6.15 Install the inner gland [11] onto the sleeve
assembly. See Figure 20. During the installation, Figure 20
ensure that the drive pins in the gland line up with
the slots in the stationary face support by aligning
the marks from step 6.13.
Caution: Do not rotate the inner gland during
installation. This may cause the springs [16] to
buckle. Verify the pins are aligned by exercising
the inner gland.
Figure 21
6.16 Select inner gland O-ring [18.1] and place it into
the O-ring groove located on the inner gland [11].
See Figure 21.
6.17 Select rotating face support O-ring [71], stretch
slightly and lightly lubricate. Install the O-ring into
the ID groove in the rotating face support [99]. See
Figure 22.
Figure 22
6.18 Align the flats on the rotating face support [99] with
the flats on the sleeve assembly. Push the rotating
face support down until it seats squarely against
the shoulder on the sleeve. See Figure 23.

Figure 23
9 
 6.19 For sizes ≤ 2.750 inch (70 mm) install the snap
ring [111] onto the sleeve assembly into the sleeve
groove beneath the rotating face support.
Note: Fully seating the rotating face support
[99] on the sleeve assembly [1] will require
compressing the springs of the inner seal by
pressing down on the inner gland [11.1]. Make
sure the snap ring is fully engaged in the groove Figure 24
in the sleeve. See Figure 24.
For sizes > 2.750 inch (70 mm) rotate the flats of
the rotating face support [99] in the groove of the
sleeve [1]. There are 2 different types of pins used
to lock the rotating face support to the sleeve
assembly: a button-head pin and a straight pin. If a
button-head pin [5.1] is used, align the slot in the
rotating face support with the radial hole in the
sleeve. Insert the button-head pin into this hole. If
straight axial pins [5.1] are used, rotate the rotating
face support to align the 2 slots on the sleeve with
the 2 slots on the inner diameter of the rotating
face support until they form holes. Insert the
straight pins [5.1] into these holes. See Figure 25.
6.20 Repeat steps 6.2 through 6.14 to assemble the
outboard rotating face [15.1], outboard rotating Figure 25
face O-ring [76.1], and outboard vibration
dampener [183] into the sleeve/rotating face
support assembly and outboard stationary face
support assembly [14.1], [100.1], [5], [16], [13.2],
[13.3] into the gland assembly [11.1].
6.21 Place the outer gland assembly face down onto
the sleeve assembly. See Figure 26. During the
installation, be careful to align the pins with their
target slots.
Caution: Do not rotate the gland assembly during
installation. This may cause the springs [16] to
buckle. Verify the pins are aligned with the slots
by exercising the gland.
6.22 Thread set screws [57] and quarter-dog set screws
[57.1] in proper, equally spaced locations in the Figure 26
drive collar [58]. Note: some sizes > 2.750 inch
(70 mm) do not utilize quarter-dog set screws.

10
6.23 Install the drive collar [58] onto the sleeve
assembly and rotate carefully until the set screws
and quarter-dog set screws line up with their
respective holes in the sleeve.
6.24 Install setting devices [103] and cap screws [40]
onto the drive collar [58], engaging with the gland
[11]. See Figure 27.
Figure 27
6.25 Compress the collar to be even with the end of
the sleeve assembly. This will also compress
the gland and inner gland simultaneously. While
holding the collar in compression, tighten the
quarter-dog set screws [57.1] into the holes in
the sleeve until snug. If the seal does not contain
quarter-dog set screws then install the set screws
[57] into the sleeve [1]. See Figure 28.
Caution: Over tightening of the quarter-dog
set screws will cause distortion of the sleeve
assembly [1]. Check integrity of the sleeve Figure 28
with a plug of the appropriate size to ensure
no distortion has occurred.
6.26 Install the sleeve O-ring [19] into the ID groove
of the sleeve assembly. See Figure 29.
6.27 The cartridge seal assembly is now ready for
testing.
6.28 Adhere the gland gasket [18] to the inner gland
Figure 29
gasket surface with a spray adhesive such as
3M Super 77 ®. See Figure 30.
6.29 Permanently mark the seal type ISC2-PP, seal
size and gland ring material clearly on the gland
surface. See Figure 1 for placement location.

7 Static Testing
The ISC2 dual rotating bellows seal may be static tested at pressures up to 300
psi [20.6 bar] prior to installation on the equipment. Flowserve manufacturing
typically tests the ISC2 at 25 psig [1.7 bar]. To static test the seal, bolt it to a
single seal test barrel or to the equipment. Secure the cup-point set screws to the
stub shaft or equipment shaft to prevent deformation of the setting devices due to
axial loads. The seal can be pressurized through the tangential flush port. If the
seal does not pass, according to QP-B.28, the static pressure test, disassemble
the seal and inspect for O-ring damage, as this is the most common cause of
static test failure.
