MU043D: Mechanical Seals Jun 26 28, 2018 / Dubai MU043 Rev.001 CMCT COURSE OUTLINE Page 1 of 5
Training Description: This is an intensive, highly practical and useful five-day course. The participant will gain up-to-date information and practical understanding of the basics, applications, troubleshooting and failure diagnosis, installation and maintenance of mechanical seal. Mechanical seal for pump and compressor applications will be addressed. Recent design like dry mechanical seal will also be addressed. The course will discuss: Lubrication and sealing concepts Mechanical Seal and Dry Gas Seal design Different arrangements of mechanical seals Optimal selection of seals and flush plans Failure diagnosis and troubleshooting Training Objective: By the end of the training, participants will be able to: Have an understanding of the different types of seals Have learned about selection, operation and maintenance strategies Troubleshoot seal problems Understand how seals are fitted Understand how seals are tested Have an understanding of API flush plans Critically analyse the methodologies employed within the organisation and instigate improvements where required Optimise the operation and maintenance of various types of pumps & compressors Gain confidence to carry out failure analyses on seals thereby avoiding repetitive failures Improve seal operating and maintenance techniques Enable measures to quantify equipment condition Give better control of mechanical seal providers Enable better identification and specification of new and replacement seals Allow tighter control of maintenance budgets by the avoidance of unplanned equipment failures in service Improved confidence when dealing with suppliers and contractors Better understanding of how manufacturers design and develop mechanical seals for particular environments Better control of the management of pumps and compressor maintenance and operation Improved personal knowledge of sealing systems Better ability to troubleshoot seal problems and avoid recurrence Confidence and ability to select the appropriate flush plan thereby improving reliability and personal profile to senior management MU043 Rev.001 CMCT COURSE OUTLINE Page 2 of 5
Training Designed for: This course is intended for all Supervisors, Team Leaders in Maintenance, Engineering and Production.
