For High- and Ultra-High-Pressure Multi-Phase and Supercritical Fluid Services
High-Pressure Gas-Lubricated Tandem Cartridge Seal
For High- and Ultra-High-Pressure Multi-Phase and Supercritical Fluid Services
Keep process pumps cooler, cleaner, and running longer—without the burden of liquid barrier systems. Flexaseal’s Style FGS uses precision, non-contacting gas-lubricated faces and a compact double cartridge design to minimize friction and heat generation, reduce nitrogen consumption, and prevent cross-contamination or external emissions. With a clean, regulated nitrogen barrier gas supplied by a simple gas panel, FGS delivers reliable sealing performance across industrial hydrocarbon, chemical, and high-purity applications—while helping you lower energy use and extend MTBR.
Style FGS
Design Features & Benefits
WHY USE FGS?
- Extended MTBR — non-contacting faces eliminate friction and wear.
- Run-dry tolerant — faces generate no heat and require no cooling.
- Assured containment — nitrogen barrier gas prevents cross-contamination and external emissions.
- Low leakage rates — helps keep nitrogen use down and minimizes gas introduced to process.
- Energy savings — non-contacting faces reduce power consumption.
- Compact installation — fits a wide variety of common process equipment.
