A retention system for a line on a spool is disclosed. The retention system may include a base component that includes a retention receiving element within a line-side surface of the base component. The retention system may include a line engagement component that includes an engagement surface, wherein the engagement surface includes a portion that is perpendicular to the base component to engage a line, wherein the engagement surface abuts the line-side surface. The retention system may include a removable retention component that is configured to retain the line between the engagement surface and the removable retention component when the removable retention component is installed within the retention receiving element.

A seal ring for a seal assembly includes a body and a seal flange. The body is generally cylindrical, extending along a longitudinal axis between a load end and a seal end. The seal flange is disposed adjacent the seal end of the body, projecting radially in a circumscribing manner from the body. The seal flange includes a sealing face having a sealing band for sealing contact with a mating seal ring. A layer of coating composition formulated to help increase the corrosion resistance of the seal ring is applied to at least the body. A mask is applied to the seal ring to cover at least a portion of the seal ring having the layer of coating composition applied thereto such that the sealing band remains exposed. The sealing band is polished by an isotropic finishing process. The mask is removed after the sealing band is isotropically polished.
