Mechanical Seals & Gland Packing's
Course Description
In this 5-day course, participants will gain a strong technical and practical understanding of mechanical seals and gland packing through the exploration of design features and implications of many sealing pump systems. Participants will also be taught about centrifugal pumps types and API 610 nomenclatures. Overview of API 682 will be delivered for mechanical seal definitions types and arrangements. Participants will also gain good knowledge about the effect of rotor dynamic balancing & pump piping on mechanical seals and soft packing.
