Course Introduction
The course commences with a solid review of the fundamentals, basic principles, and looks at seal classification and seal design. Special seal types are examined, and the materials used to construct seals, ranging from elastomeric materials to cemented carbides, are examined. Through this, you will understand the basic needs of mechanical seals, and by applying what you learn, you will positively impact the real costs of seal ownership to your company.
