2018-07-15 08:00 - 2018-07-20 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Prague, Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic
Promoting Excellence in the Global Pressure Vessel and Piping Industry
Join us in Prague, Czech Republic for a the ASME Pressure Vessels & Piping Conference (PVP). More than 180 paper and panel sessions are planned, as well as tutorials, a Technology Demonstration Forum, and the 25th Rudy Scavuzzo Student Paper Symposium and Competition. The ASME 2018 PVP Conference promises to be the outstanding international technical forum for participants to further their knowledge-base by being exposed to diverse topics, and exchange opinions and ideas both from industry and academia in a variety of topics related to Pressure Vessel and Piping technologies for the Power and Process Industries. The PVP Conference is a great place to exchange ideas and to meet colleagues as we all work to create and advance Pressure Vessels and Piping technologies for our global community of practice. The PVP Conference is a recognized forum for fruitful exchange of ideas with participants from over 40 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Americas, and the Oceania islands.
The ASME Pressure Vessels & Piping Division is the primary sponsor of the PVP-2018 Conference, with additional participation by the ASME Nondestructive Evaluation, Diagnosis and Prognosis Division (NDPD).

Mechanical Seal Fundamentals
2018-07-10 08:00 - 2018-07-13 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Desio, Italy
This course provides the student with foundational information regarding the purpose of mechanical seals, how they are constructed, where they are used, and what they need to effectively perform in a wide variety of applications. Mechanical seal issues are discussed in the classroom and then reinforced in the laboratories using actual pumps equipped with instruments to indicate seal chamber pressure and temperature as the pumps are operated at various flow rates by the students themselves. 70% Classroom, 30% labs.
Specific topics include:

Pump and mechanical seal basics.
Seal function (how they work).
Mechanical seal piping plans.
Proper seal installation and removal.
Mechanical seal types and arrangements.
Reading mechanical seal drawings.
Materials of construction.
Fluid properties effect on seals.

AUDIENCE
Engineers; rotating equipment specialists; individuals involved in pump sales and service, and experienced plant maintenance and operational personnel that have a desire to improve their understanding of the many mechanical seal applications in rotating equipment.
Price: $2,300.00
