Stainless Steel wear rings tend to gall/seize when they come in contact with each other causing considerable downtime and cost.
Does similar problem of galling/seizing of wear rings occur on API C-6 pumps with Chrome wear rings.
Any experience out there replacing the Stainless Steel wear rings with Vespel CR-6100 on BFW Pumps. What are the resultant benefits (reduced clearence between rings and improved efficiency, wear rate and failure rate etc).
