This course provides the participants with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the basics of pumps, pumping systems and mechanical seals. The course curriculum is centered on centrifugal pumps and the mechanical seals that they utilize in common industrial applications. Basic pump and mechanical seal composition and operation are discussed in the classroom, and […]
We all dread the feeling of what it's like to forget about the New Year's Goals we made by this time of year. Well, when it comes to your goal of determining the proper operating conditions for your piping system quickly, dread no more! With the Goal Seek & Control (GSC) module for AFT Fathom […]
2019 Invitation from our President, Dennis Schaibly Welcome to the NEW Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium! Conferences like ours have seen declines in attendance in recent times and we are wondering why. With the large numbers of the "old lions" retiring and a whole new generation of eager, young people taking over the machinery operation and maintenance, […]
This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to understand the basics of pumps and mechanical seals. The course details the components of pumps and mechanical seals, and their functions, how they work together, and what they need to operate reliably in a system. Designed as an on-site course, concepts and theory are […]
This course provides the student with foundational information regarding the purpose of mechanical seals, how they are constructed, where they are used, and what they need to effectively perform in a wide variety of applications. Mechanical seal issues are discussed in the classroom and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments […]

Tired of copying model results and pasting into a spreadsheet to perform your transient analysis? How often do you find yourself carrying out several model runs to see how your pipe system flow parameters might change over time? Come and learn how a complicated transient analysis is made easy with the AFT Fathom eXtended Time […]
The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is where energy professionals meet to exchange ideas and opinions to advance scientific and technical knowledge for offshore resources and environmental matters. Celebrating 50 years since 1969, OTC’s flagship conference is held annually at NRG Park (formerly Reliant Park) in Houston. OTC has expanded technically and globally with the Arctic Technology Conference, […]
This course provides the student with a thorough understanding of centrifugal pump design, function and operation. Common process control and performance measurement methods are reviewed, and the necessary calculations associated with pumping systems are executed and explained. Centrifugal pump issues are discussed in the classroom and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped […]
The phrase "transient analysis" can have different meanings. In the previous webinar, we discussed "transient analysis" in context of the AFT Fathom XTS module. If AFT Impulse also does "transient analysis", how is it different from what the AFT Fathom XTS module does? Come and learn how to import an AFT Fathom model file into […]
