Presenter: Eric Vanhie, EagleBurgmann

Section 1 explains how a mechanical seal works and gives an overview of the most common seal types.  The objectives are to give the student a good understanding of how leakage, friction and wear of the materials interact and why many different seal types are used in pumps, agitators and compressors.

Section 2: Thursday, April 12, 1:00-2:00pm EDT – Mechanical Seals Construction and Design.

Presenter: Mike Huebner, Flowserve

Section 2 will cover different design features used in common seals.  This section will explain the strengths and weaknesses of various design options and impact of design features on seal performance.  Mike will discuss seal faces, springs, seal glands, and much more.

Section 3: Thursday, April 26, 1:00-2:00pm EDT – Mechanical Seals – Installation, Connections — Commissioning

Presenter: Eric Boyce, John Crane

Section 3 will cover mechanical seals used in rotary equipment, basic preparation and standards as well as support system piping plans promoting longer seal life and more.

Section 4: Friday, May 11, 1:00-2:00pm EDT – Mechanical Seals – Seal Environment and Failure Analysis.
Presenter: Henri Azibert, A.W. Chesterton Company

Section 4 covers how to improve material selection, installation and operating procedures, environmental controls, seal design and much more.
