Mechanical Seals Webinar Bundle

4-Part Webinar Bundle

Overview

A comprehensive collection of four mechanical seal webinars, which provides foundational understanding of the topic. A mechanical seal is a vital component within a pumping system. Consequently, it is beneficial to understand the function and limitations of a seal. This collection of webinars was designed to provide attendees with a general understanding on the design, function, operation and installation of mechanical seals. Participants will learn about the essential elements of a mechanical seal, operating principles, proper installation methods, and what to do in the event of seal failure.

This is a discounted bundle of four (4) mechanical seals webinars. Get 30% off of the individual price if purchased separately when you register for this bundle.

Learning Level - Basic and Intermediate Basic level training provides a foundational understanding of the topic and develop basic competencies. It will cover introductory content, but attendees would benefit from reviewing the Introduction to Pump Fundamentals On-Demand Training Course.

Intermediate level training is designed for individuals who have some experience and basic understanding of the topic. It builds upon basic concepts and expands the breadth and depth of understanding supporting the development of skills. The basic level training within bundle modules 1, 2 and 3 prepare them for intermediate level training provided in bundle module 4.

Audience

This course is designed for individuals looking to gain a basic knowledge of mechanical seals or those who need a refresher, including: pump system operators, maintenance personnel, pump system designers and owners, technical sales, and engineers.
