New Pump and Compressor Engineers Seals Guide
For pump and compressor engineers looking for a handy guide to selecting elastomer o-rings and seals, new BPMA member Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) has published ‘High Performance Sealing Solutions for Pumps and Compressors’.
The guide is the outcome of PPE”s popular one-day, training courses on “Elastomer Technology and Seal Design for Critical Sealing Applications” held over the past two years. It compliments the course content, and reflects issues raised by pump design and maintenance engineers, and purchasing and quality managers when selecting seals.
The guide covers elastomer materials and common seal designs, and how these relate to reliable pump and compressor operation in a number of industries including food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacture, aerospace and defence, oil and gas processing and large power plant pumps. The guide also includes a checklist of information engineers should provide when procuring seals.
