Abstract: A mechanical seal device for use in a water environment includes: a stationary sealing ring made of SiC; and a rotating sealing ring made of SiC and arranged opposite to the stationary sealing ring, the mechanical seal device bringing opposite sliding surfaces of the stationary sealing ring and the rotating sealing ring into close contact with each other to seal a sealed fluid, wherein at least one of the sealing rings including the sliding surfaces is configured by a sintered compact of a material including SiC as a base material compounded with an Al additive, and a specific resistance value of the sealing ring configured by the sintered compact including the sliding surface is equal to or lower than 100 ?·cm.

Abstract: A mechanical seal has a structure wherein a plurality of sealed-fluid-accommodating blocks separated in the circumferential direction are formed on either the sealing face of a fixed ring or the sealing face of a rotating ring so as to communicate with a sealed fluid accommodation space. Pumping parts for creating a pumping action due to the fixed ring and the rotating ring sliding while undergoing relative rotation are formed on a bottom part of the plurality of sealed-fluid-accommodating blocks. The pumping parts formed on the bottom parts of the plurality of sealed-fluid-accommodating blocks are provided with an intake pumping part which acts in a direction in which the sealed fluid is drawn in and a discharge pumping part which acts in a direction in which the sealed fluid is discharged.
