SEAL RECOMMENDATIONS BY FLUID www.chestertonrotating.com Form. EN23874 03/15 Seal Recommendations by Fluid CONCENTRATION AND PIPING PLANS Code - * : Substance currently does not have The recommended piping plan or choice of a CAS Number listed; therefore, substance TEMPERATURE RANGES has not been classified accordingly. Concentration: Listed as a percentage of plans to be utilized to enhance seal life and the pure component. The diluent for all non performance based on the API Auxiliary Piping No Code: Substance is not classified under the 100% entries is water unless otherwise noted. Systems for mechanical seals.
