I. The Foundation Skeleton for Pressure and Sealing

In big power station boiler feed systems, the FA1D56 booster pump is the main feed pump's scout. It keeps the inlet pressure steady. This machine needs a key, simple-looking part to run safe—the sealing housing FA1D56-03-03. It's the pressure fortress and the sealing system's mounting base. Its performance directly ties to unit efficiency and safety.

 

The FA1D56 booster pump seal housing is not on the spinning rotor. It bolts hard onto the pump body end cover. Inside is a precision-made chamber, built for the cartridge mechanical seal. This housing is a pressure part for the booster pump. It must hold the static pressure of hot, high-pressure feed water. It must also resist water flow shock. At the same time, the fit with the seal must be perfect—miss one thing, and it fails.

II. Material and Craft: Hard Strength Guaranteed

 

Right Material is Safety's Base

This seal housing uses ZG230-450 cast steel. Not a random choice. They pick it for its all-around strength. ZG230-450 cast steel yields at no less than 230N/mm². Tensile strength is at least 450N/mm². That strength lets the housing hold 2.5MPa or more pump discharge pressure. It won't bend or crack.

 

Its elongation is not less than 22%. This flex lets the housing soak up stress points. Less risk of brittle failure—very important for parts that take constant pressure spikes. ZG230-450 also welds easily. Good for fixing or changing things on site. Machining is smooth. It handles the complex inner shape and high-precision surfaces needed. It’s a proven cast steel. Stable flow, stable shrink. Precision casting makes complex shapes with good inner quality.

 

Precision Build: No Hidden Faults

  • Good material needs good craft. The housing design must calculate water flow, stress, and heat warp. Wall thickness, corner radii, and rib locations are tuned many times. This cuts stress spots and boosts fatigue life.
  • The holes and faces that meet the mechanical seal need fine boring and grinding. Tolerances, like concentricity, must hit micron levels—this is the base for a good seal install and long use.
  • Rough castings must pass a non-destructive test. Ultrasound or magnetic particle checks find internal shrinkage, pores, and cracks.
  • Every finished part gets a hydro test before shipping. Test pressure is 1.5 times the working pressure. It holds pressure for a long time. Only when the pressure and seal checks pass is it shipped out.

 


 

III. Sealing is Not a Solo Act

 

The FA1D56-03-03 seal housing is the whole shaft sealing system's skeleton. You can't look at it alone. It works with the mechanical seal and the location ring inside. They form a precision seal unit. Through the mechanical seal, it meets the pump shaft and shaft sleeve for dynamic sealing. The housing's stiffness and stability give the seal a micro-environment free from outside forces. If the housing warps from bad material or poor manufacturing, the seal's accuracy is instantly ruined. Leak risk shoots up.

 

Core parts that work with the seal housing must match exactly:

 

No. Product Name Model/Drawing No.
1 Seal Housing FA1D56-03-03
2 Booster Pump Mechanical Seal FA1D56A
3 Booster Pump Seal Locating Ring FA1D56-03-02
4 Shaft Sleeve FA1D56-01-15
5 Shaft Sleeve FA1D56-01-07

 


 

IV. Good Maintenance Stops Trouble

This seal housing works with the FA1D56 series boiler booster pump. It constantly fights the rush of hot, high-pressure boiler water. If it leaks, the results are terrible—the machine must stop. High-pressure steam jets also endanger people and nearby equipment.

 

Daily checks and overhauls must be tough on the seal housing. Look closely for cracks, warping. Check the seal mating surface for scratches or corrosion. Don't wait if you find problems. Fix them fast. Stop small issues from becoming big failures. For the power station, a reliable FA1D56-03-03 seal housing is the bottom line for safe machine running.
