Module 2 - Introduction to Mechanical Seal (For Students)

πŸ“˜ Module 2: Deeper into Mechanical Seals – Parts, Paths & Classifications

In Module 2, we continue our structured exploration of mechanical seals β€” a critical component in rotating equipment reliability.

This session focuses on developing your ability to understand, identify, and differentiate between seal types and failure modes.

πŸ“… Live Session Date & Time:

21st June 2025 at 1130am-1230pm.  

The class will be conducted live only, with no recording provided (as per the presenter’s request).

Topics covered:

βœ… Refresher: What is a Mechanical Seal?

πŸ” Basic Parts of a Mechanical Seal – understanding each component's function

πŸ’§ Common Mechanical Seal Leaking Paths – how and why seals fail in service

🧩 Mechanical Seal Classifications – by design, arrangement, and application (e.g., single, double, cartridge-type)

By the end of this module, participants will be able to confidently:

Interpret mechanical seal diagrams and cross-sections

Recognize different seal categories used in refinery pumps and compressors

Link failure symptoms to possible causes within the seal assembly

πŸŽ“ Who should attend?
Engineering students, interns, and junior engineers looking to strengthen their rotating equipment fundamentals β€” especially those preparing for roles in oil & gas, petrochemical, or process plants.

πŸ“… Live only – No recordings will be provided.
