SUMMARY:Pump and Mechanical Seal Reliability
DESCRIPTION:This course provides the participant a better understanding of the reliability issues related to the interrelated functions of the centrifugal pump and mechanical seal\, as they are operated in a complex pumping system under a variety of conditions. Participants learn how to identify and address causes of poor pump and mechanical seal reliability by focusing on mechanical and operational issues that can negatively affect pump and seal performance.\nBasic pump and mechanical seal issues are discussed in the classroom\, and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments to indicate flow\, pressure\, temperature\, and power consumption. The pumps are operated by the students themselves. 60% classroom\, 40% labs. \nSpecific topics include: \n\nReview of centrifugal pump basics\nPump operating conditions that affect both pump and seal reliably\nMechanical issues that affect pump and seal reliability\nTroubleshooting centrifugal pump failures\nThe effects of the various types of cavitation in a mechanically sealed pump.\nThe importance of proper clearances in a centrifugal pump.\nReview of mechanical seal basics\nMechanical seal installation\, commissioning and operation\nDetailed steps to mechanical seal troubleshooting\nSeal failure case studies\n\n\n  \nAUDIENCE\nThis course builds upon level 1 pump and mechanical seal courses. Experienced operations and maintenance personnel and engineers with at least 1 or more years of field experience are preferred.

SUMMARY:Solutions to Your Check Valve Problems – Important valve installation and piping design guidelines
DESCRIPTION:We have seen highly successful installations and we have seen catastrophes when it comes to installing & maintaining check valves in piping systems. So\, we compiled some of the most important information and created this webinar to spread the knowledge. During this webinar\, attendees will learn key installation\, maintenance\, piping design tips and guidelines to keep in mind to ensure the most efficient installation and use of check valves in your system.\n  \n  \n\nDate: May 23\, 2018\nTime: 2 PM EDT (11 AM PDT)\nDuration: 1 hour\nPresented by:\n\n\n\n\nOverview \nMany different factors go into designing an efficient piping system. One simple mistake can mean the difference between a smooth flowing system and a system filled with water hammer issues and a lot of high maintenance problems with damage to pumps and other piping system components. \nThis presentation reviews key installation\, maintenance\, piping design tips and guidelines to keep in mind to ensure the most efficient installation and use of check valves in your system. It explains basics on piping design and the fundamentals of sizing valves in general with a specific emphasis on sizing check valves for the application conditions\, not selecting a check valve based solely on line size. \n\n\nKey Take-Aways \n\nLearn general check valve and piping design rules\nUnderstand how piping design can impact valve reliability and maintenance costs\nOverview of best practices in check valve installation and valve maintenance guidelines\nHow to choose the best check valve for your application\nHear about common Myths vs. Reality\n\n\n\nSpeaker: \nArie Bregman\, Vice President and General Manager\, DFT Inc. \nArie Bregman is Vice President and General Manager of DFT Inc. A 35-year industry veteran\, Bregman is active in the U.S. Valve Manufacturers Association\, serving on the group’s education\, training and technical committees.
