Reliability of Sealing Systems for Rotating Machinery

The 14 papers presented at the October 1999 gathering deal with sealing systems for compressors and pumps, examining the latest techniques in reliability modeling, data gathering and analysis, and reliability prediction. Case studies in applying the API Standard 682 are also offered. Topics include seal systems for pipeline and high-pressure pumps, double mechanical seals, seal performance monitoring, practical considerations when retrofitting dry gas seals to centrifugal compressors, and prediction of explosive decompression damage in elastomer seals.
