Our instructor Paul Xuereb draws on decades of experience in the mechanical seals industry as he takes you through all aspects of mechanical seals from the fundamentals on how they work through different seal types to use for various applications to how one effectively troubleshoot seal problems.

Keeping process fluids safely inside pumping equipment is one of the main jobs a mechanical sealing system has to do. Even tiny amounts of leakage can add up to real problems, whether that's lost money, environmental harm, or safety risks, and this becomes especially true when the fluids involved are hazardous, toxic, or expensive.

That's why mechanical seals are built to act as engineered barriers that hold leakage down to negligible amounts under the conditions they're designed for. By doing this well, they help keep the process running cleanly, cut down on wasted product, and make it easier to stay on the right side of environmental and safety rules.
