Your company pays top dollar for your mechanical seals. Why shouldn't you expect these critical components to perform without a hitch? If you're disrespecting them, however, (i.e. specifying, installing, operating and/or maintaining them improperly) you are kissing efficiency and profits good-bye! Sadly, if your plant is like so many others, too many of your in-house personnel know far too little about your crucial mechanical sealing systems. That doesn't have to be the case going forward.
MARTS 2008, in partnership with the Fluid Sealing Association (FSA) and the Hydraulic Institute (HI), is proud to offer "Fundamentals of Mechanical Seals," a full-day, pre-conference workshop. Presented by seal experts from member companies of the FSA, this information-packed workshop takes place from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., on Monday, April 14 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL (in Chicagoland, next to O'Hare Airport). Think of this special course as a "must-attend" part of this year's MARTS experience for selected members of your reliability and maintenance team!
Topics include:
Mechanical seal designs & arrangements
Basic operating principles & application limits
Seal chamber design & pressures
Installation of mechanical seals
Environmental controls & piping plans
Pump commissioning
Troubleshooting, troubleshooting, troubleshooting
This course is ideal for new engineers and any maintenance and operating personnel involved with selection, procurement, operation or maintenance of equipment utilizing mechanical shaft seals. Each attendee receives a FREE copy of the 300-page FSA/HI handbook, Mechanical Seals: Application Guidelines. A $195-retail value, this authoritative "go-to" source of information should be easily available in every reliability-focused process operation!Â
