Mechanical Seal: Keeping Pumps Leak-Free

How does pulling the gland follower down contribute to the functionality of a pump?

Final answer:

When the gland follower is pulled all the way down, a pump needs sealing.

When the gland follower is pulled all the way down, a pump needs sealing. The gland follower is a vital component of the mechanical seal system in pumps that ensures a leak-free operation.

By pulling the gland follower down, it exerts pressure on the mechanical seal, creating a secure seal that prevents any leakage of the fluid being pumped.
