The most common cause of mechanical seal failure is dry running, which occurs when the pump or equipment operates without sufficient fluid lubrication. The lack of liquid creates intense frictional heat between the precision seal faces within seconds, destroying the elastomeric components, cracking the carbon face, and causing immediate fluid leakage.
