View On-Demand Section 1:Mechanical Seals - Types and Operating Principles.
Eric Vanhie, Engineering Manager of EagleBurgmann presented the first section of the Mechanical Seals Webinar Series. Section 1 explains how a mechanical seal works and gives an overview of the most common seal types. The objectives are to give the student a good understanding of how leakage, friction and wear of the materials interact and why many different seal types are used in pumps, agitators and compressors. As can be seen from our survey, these webinars are proven to be very effective. Please sign up for the next webinar.
View On-Demand Section 2: Mechanical Seals Construction and Design.Mike Huebner, Principal Engineer of Flowserve presented section 2 of the Mechanical Seals Webinar Series. Section 2 covers different design features used in common seals. This section explains the strengths and weaknesses of various design options and impact of design features on seal performance. Mike discusses seal faces, springs and seal glands. This webinar also explains the differences in seal chamber designs for common pumps.
Testimonal:
“Thank you for a wonderful presentation on seal design. It was clear and concise enough for a novice to understand but had plenty of meat in it for a seasoned seal designer. We all got plenty out of the seminar.”Paul StoeckSr. Design EngineerTrostel Ltd. Lake Geneva, WI. 53147
View On-Demand Section 3: Mechanical Seals - Installation, Connections — Commissioning.Eric Boyce, Manager, Reliability Engineering of John Crane Inc. presented section 3 of the Mechanical Seals Webinar Series. A mechanical seal, although designed for various applications at times, requires equipment prepared so that life cycle is maximized. In this section we also examine seal support systems that further promote longer seal life. Section 3 will cover the following:
View On-Demand Section 4 Mechanical Seals - Seal Environment and Failure Analysis
Henri Azibert, Chief Technology Officer of A.W. Chesterton Company will lead the final section of the Mechanical Seals Webinar Series. The mechanical environment in which the seal operates has an impact on its performance. Understanding the impact of equipment configuration on the seal will help increase its life. A seal is considered to have failed when leakage exceeds environmental or plant-site operating limits. The failure most often occurs before the seal has achieved its design life expectancy. Various modes of failure are documented and analyzed with recommendations on how to avoid or at least delay the deleterious effects of the potential causes of failure. Analyzing the mode of seal failure will lead to extended life of the rotary equipment by learning how to improve:
The information supplied in section 4 is essential to improve mean time between repairs and to achieve optimum operation.

Effectively Managing Internal Transitions
It is critical for organizations to identify and retain talent. As the economy recovers, two things will happen. Growth will place demands on the lean structures that have been in place to weather the recession, and new positions will be created and filled to meet these business demands. Research also indicates that as the recession wanes, turnover will rise once again as employees move on to pursue new opportunities. Succession bottlenecks will open up, and opportunities for emerging leaders will present themselves. The result of both of these is, inevitably, that more and more leaders will find themselves in new roles and facing new challenges. Getting people up-to-speed and delivering results fast will, once again, be a salient need. Surveys suggest, however, that 25% of leaders moving into a new role will fail. What can you do to beat the odds and help your organization successfully meet its business objectives? Join us to hear new research from RHR International that identifies Six Key Success Factors for effectively managing internal leadership transitions
Based on in-depth interviewswith over 150 senior leaders from around the world, we will pinpoint techniques for improving the success rate of those moving up the corporate ladder and present a compelling case as to why organizations should re-think the way they manage internal moves.
