Module 2 - Introduction to Mechanical Seal (For Students)
📘 Module 2: Deeper into Mechanical Seals – Parts, Paths & Classifications
In Module 2, we continue our structured exploration of mechanical seals — 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.
📅 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:
✅ Refresher: What is a Mechanical Seal?
🔍 Basic Parts of a Mechanical Seal – understanding each component's function
💧 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
🎓 Who should attend?
Engineering students, interns, and junior engineers looking to strengthen their rotating equipment fundamentals — especially those preparing for roles in oil & gas, petrochemical, or process plants.
📅 Live only – No recordings will be provided.
