Which of the following statements is true concerning the shaft seal shown in the illustration? See illustration GS-0135.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Study which components are labeled as split or repairable on the shaft seal (e.g., split O-ring, face sealing strip). • Think about how a split-type construction allows maintenance without removing the shaft or dry-docking. • Consider whether the splash guard would normally rotate with the shaft or stay fixed to the stationary housing.

💭 Think About

• From the illustration, which parts are clearly made in two halves that can be opened around the shaft, and what does that suggest about repairs in place? • Looking at how the splash guard is attached, does it appear connected to the rotating shaft or clamped to a stationary structure? • If one of the statements were wrong, which component’s actual function or mounting (as shown) would contradict it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which items in the illustration are explicitly marked split or shown in two pieces around the shaft. • Check how the splash guard is supported: by the shaft itself or by the outer housing/clamp ring. • Confirm whether the face, seat, and sealing strip could be accessed and changed with the shaft still in place, based on their split design.

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following statements is true concerning the shaft seal shown in the illustration? See illustration GS-0135.

The splash guard remains stationary in relation to the rotating shaft.

The face, seat, and sealing strip may be repaired or replaced in an emergency situation without drawing the shaft or dry-docking.

The entire assembly is of the split-type construction.

All of the above.
