Getting tired of those pesky pump leaks? Join us on next Wednesday, October 28th 1PM – 2PM EST for the “Troubleshooting Fluid Sealing in Pump Systems for Safety and Reliability” webinar sponsored by Garlock. The webinar will focus on ways to improve safety and reliability with an introduction of troubleshooting tips.
In the pulp and paper industry, fluid sealing challenges around pumps are common due to chemicals, thermal cycling, abrasion, temperature, environmental and other common conditions. It has been found that in addition to process challenges, installation procedures can be a primary cause for leaks and failures. Attendees of this webinar will be presented considerations and solutions for sealing gasketed flange connection, stuffing boxes, and flexible pipe joints found in or around pumping systems.
