ME0140 : Mechanical Seal & Packing Selection, Installation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
The course is designed to equip the participants with the proper techniques on the selection, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of mechanical seals and packing materials. It covers seal design; seal components; seal types; materials for general consideration in seal construction; and the development of awareness on environmental considerations and control.
The course will also cover the auxiliary equipment including rotameters, flow controllers, leakage detectors, filters and strainers; as well as seal handling and installation which includes general considerations and seat squareness.
Participants of the course will be able to identify the factors influencing seal life and seal failures including factors affecting seal performance, seal malfunction; probable causes, friction, wear, adhesion, abrasion, corrosion and surface fatigue; implement seal selection standards; troubleshoot failed seals; and maximize seal life.
