Dear All,

As per API 682, if the temperature is more than 80 deg. c, we should select seal plan 23 (more efficient seal plan with less heat load)? But in many applications, i have seen that Plan 21 is selected instead of Plan 23.

Can anybody please tell what is the criteria for selecting Plan 21 over Plan 23?

Regards,
