Radial lip seals are used in various sizes and designs to seal shaft interfaces. In contrast to other sealing systems, elastomeric radial lip seals have a back-pumping capability. Fluid is pumped under the sealing edge from the air side to the fluid side. The simplest method for measuring the back-pumping rate is the converse installation of the radial lip seal. This paper describes the current state of the art in back-pumping rate measurement. It shows the advantages over other methods and the limitations of the method. For the converse installation, there was always the assumption of hydrodynamic lubrication. This means there would be only minimal initial run in effects and no further wear. Current research work however, question this assumption. To analyze the wear formation during back-pumping rate measurements, various long-term tests were carried out. The resulting wear is compared with identical tests in normal installation.
