Life Cycle Cost Analysis (Kalrez® parts)
Calculate Seal Savings - Seal Cost is more than the initial purchase price
The total cost of seal ownership can be viewed as the sum of several components. Consider, for example, a process pump that is handling an OSHA regulated medium. If a seal in the pump were to leak (or fail), we may have a host of potential costs including:
- Shutting down the process
- Purchasing then installing a new seal
- Lost production time
- Possible emission monitoring and/or clean-up costs
The sum of these costs certainly far outweighs the seal's initial purchase price. By selecting and installing Kalrez® high performance seals mean time between repair (MTBR) may be extended, and unscheduled down time and attendant costs may be avoided.
