Hello everyone,

I’m a junior mechanical engineer seeking guidance from experienced professionals in maintenance and reliability.

Could you share insights on which types and sizes of mechanical seals are most critical to keep in stock for emergency and preventive maintenance?

Edit: Based on feedback, I’m focusing more on identifying critical pumps first and then understanding the seal requirements for those specific assets.

I’m particularly interested in understanding what is commonly required in real-world operations.
