What is the purpose of o-ring in the centrifugal pumps?..

Answer / Sudhir Yadav

O-rings serve as seals in centrifugal pumps to prevent leaks between moving and stationary components. They create a flexible, pressure-resistant seal that can accommodate slight misalignments and wear. In marine applications, o-rings help maintain pump efficiency and minimize fluid loss.
