An introductory course describing Mechanical Face Seals, including details of history, construction, applications and classification.

The third chapter of our Introduction to Flange Gaskets Course, describing different gasket types and the materials used to produce them.

The European Sealing Association’s interactive training course is intended as an introduction to this method of sealing technology and to help engineers, technicians and users of gaskets understand what gaskets are and how and when they can be used successfully.

Developed by the ESA Packings Division, this training course covers the area of problems in packing performance and how to overcome them and complements the earlier ‘Introduction to Compression Packing’ course. Users of packings and those responsible for selecting, fitting and replacing packings will learn the various types of packing failures, their causes and how to avoid them.

Developed by the ESA Packings Division, this training course helps engineers, technicians and users of packings to understand what packings are and how and when they can be used successfully. It covers application and installation information as well as packing materials and construction.

Produced by the ESA Flange Gasket Division, this animated training video covers the correct installation of a gasket for flange applications. It is intended for maintenance experts, engineers, technicians, and users and describes the preparation, selection and torquing requirement to load and seat a gasket correctly.
