This course prepares the student to remove, assemble, and disassemble pumps. Participants successfully completing the workshop should be able to demonstrate the purpose, removal, and installation of compression packing; describe how mechanical seals work; explain how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the pump with and without the pump case; perform as-found visual inspections and pump checks; show how to lay out and cut a gasket; and demonstrate how to read a seal print and install a mechanical seal with and without the print. The explanations and procedures are generously illustrated. Safety is emphasized throughout.
