Introduction

This is an intensive, highly practical, and useful five-day training course on Mechanical Seals. The participant will gain up-to-date information and practical understanding of the basics, applications, troubleshooting and failure diagnosis, installation, and maintenance of mechanical seal. Mechanical seal for pump and compressor applications will be addressed. Recent design like dry mechanical seal will also be addressed.

The highlights of this Mechanical Seals training course are as follows:

  • Lubrication and sealing concepts
  • Mechanical Seal and Dry Gas Seal design
  • Different arrangements of mechanical seals
  • Optimal selection of seals and flush plans
  • Failure diagnosis and troubleshooting

Objectives

    At the end of this training course, participants will:

    • Understand the different types of seals
    • Have learned about selection, operation, and maintenance strategies
    • Be able to troubleshoot seal problems
    • Understand how seals are fitted
    • Understand how seals are tested
    • Understand API flush plans

Training Methodology

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes stimulating presentations supporting each of the topics together with interactive trainer lead sessions of discussion.
