Advantages Disadvantages
Packing
1. Lower initial cost2. Easily installed as rings and glands are split3. Good reliability to medium pressures and shaft speeds4. Can handle large axial movements (thermal expansion of stuffing box versus shaft)5. Can be used in rotating or reciprocating applications 6. Leakage tends to increase gradually, giving warning of impending breakdown
1. Relatively high leakage 2. Requires regular maintenance 3. Wear of shaft and shaft sleeve can be relatively high4. Power losses may be high
Advantages Disadvantages
Mechanical seals1. Very low leakage/no leakage 2. Require no maintenance 3. Eliminate sleeve wear/shaft wear 4. Very good reliability 5. Can handle higher pressures and speeds 6. Easily applied to, toxic, flammable, or radioactive liquids 7. Low power loss
