This 4-part webinar series is based on the Hydraulic Institute guidebook, Mechanical Seals for Pumps: Application Guidelines which was published in cooperation with the Fluid Sealing Association. Each webinar will last approximately 1 hour, including Q&A. Audio broadcast will be via your computer speakers or teleconference bridge.
The 4-Part Series includes:
View On-Demand Section 1: Mechanical Seals - Types and Operating Principles
Eric Vanhie, Engineering Manager, EagleBurgmann
Originally Recorded Tuesday, July 26, 1:00 EDT
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.
View On-Demand Section2: Mechanical Seals Construction and Design
Mike Huebner, Principal Engineer, Flowserve
Originally Recorded Tuesday, August 16, 1:00 EDT
Topics discussed:
- Explain different design features used in common seals
- Strengths and weaknesses of various design options
- Impact of design features on seal performance
- Discuss seal faces, springs, and seal glands
- Explain differences in seal chamber designs for common pumps
View On-Demand Section 3: Installation - Connections – Commissioning
Eric Boyce, Manager, Reliability Engineering, John Crane
Originally Recorded Tuesday, August 30, 1:00 EDT
A mechanical seal, although designed for various applications at times, requires equipment prepared so that the life cycle is maximized. In this module we also examine seal supports systems that further promote longer seal life. Other topics include:
- General knowledge of mechanical seals used in rotary equipment.
- Basic preparation and standards as well as support system piping plans promoting longer seal life.
- What basic tolerances are recommended for seal installations?
- What benefit is the seal drawing to the overall installation?
- Does the seal flush piping plan type really influence longer life?
- What is the difference between a seal support system for a secondary containment seal and a non-contacting seal?
View On-Demand Webinar Section 4: Seal Environment - Failure Analysis
Henri Azibert, Chief Technology Officer, A.W. Chesterton
Originally Recorded Tuesday, September 20, 1:00 EDT
This module covers seal environment and failure analysis. A seal is considered to have failed when leakage exceeds environmental or plant-site operating limits. The failure may occur before or after the seal has achieved its design life expectancy. Understanding the mode of seal failure can lead to extending the life of rotary equipment by improving seal design and material selection, installation and operating procedures, and environmental controls.
