Hydraulic Institute unveils mechanical seals webinar series
February 29, 2012
The
Hydraulic Institute, in collaboration with the Fluid Sealing Association,
announced the schedule of the 2012 Mechanical Seals Webinar Series, beginning
March 29. A free supplemental webinar on sealing systems energy efficiency will
be held on March 15.
Participants will be led by and have access to industry-leading experts in a noncommercial educational forum. HI technical webinar participants can receive up to four professional development hour credits after completion of each live webinar.
The schedule is as follows:
March
29, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. EDT - Section 1: Mechanical Seals - Types and Operating
Principles
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. Presenter: Eric Vanhie, EagleBurgmann.
April
12, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. EDT - Section 2: Mechanical Seals Construction and
Design
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. Presenter: Mike Huebner, Flowserve.
April
26, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. EDT - Section 3: Mechanical Seals - Installation,
Connections - Commissioning
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. Presenter: Eric Boyce, John Crane.
May
11, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. EDT - Section 4: Mechanical Seals - Seal Environment and
Failure Analysis
Section 4 covers how to improve material selection, installation and operating procedures, environmental controls, seal design and much more. Presenter: Henri Azibert, A.W. Chesterton Co.
