New Color Brochure

From A.W. Chesterton

Details Process Seals

A free color brochure is being offered by A.W. Chesterton Co. of

Stoneham, Mass., on their new low- cost composite process seals for pumps.

The brochure, Bulletin 72420, de- scribes the Chesterton composite seal 711 for pumps handling water or mild chemicals. Seal 711 Rotary has several advantages including: multiple non-clogging springs; 0- ring balanced design; positive posi- tioning; and no shaft sleeve wear.

The units are constructed of metals and technical composite materials meeting exacting engineering re- quirements.

In addition, the color publication also details the Chesterton 712 and 713 composite glands, designed as inexpensive, off-the-shelf replace- ments for worn-out glands, or where pumps are changed from packing to seals and a new gland is required.

Configuration drawings, photo- graphs and specification charts are included.
