YORK THE TALK OF FLUID SEALING
BHR Groups 17th International Conference Opens For Registration
Emission control is critical in process plant, industrial equipment,
machinery and transportation systems. The failure of a seemingly simple seal can
have expensive, hazardous or even fatal consequences. Plant or equipment
downtime, environmental damage, lost or spoiled production and expensive
maintenance can often be avoided by proper application of appropriate
technology.
The demands on seals are increasingly stringent and much of the emphasis is
on controlling environmental contamination. Improvements are driven by new
standards, legislation and economic considerations but this can create increase
the overall cost of ownership. The challenge facing engineers today is to deploy
the best possible solutions to their complex fluid sealing requirements. For
this they need informed knowledge about the latest developments and an
understanding of how advances made in other industries may have significance in
their own.
BHR Groups 17th International Conference on Fluid Sealing is the latest in a
sequence of highly successful events that addresses these key issues and
provides a firm foundation for future developments and insight into the
application and exploitation of the best available technologies.
Registration is now open for this prestigious event which takes place in
York, England, 8-10 April 2003. With its aim of further improving sealing
reliability and effectiveness, the conference has evolved since its inception to
reflect the growing maturity of the technology. It is firmly established as the
premier event in its field and always delivers important and interesting
information that enables engineers to become fully conversant with the latest
technology for good sealing.
It also represents an ideal opportunity for knowledge transfer in formal
sessions and through one-to-one contact where engineers from a range of
industries can present and discuss industrial applications of fluid sealing, the
latest in research and development, and emerging issues and challenges for
suppliers and users.
A special feature of this years conference is the incorporation of a focussed
end-user day on Wednesday 9 April. Throughout the day there will be
presentations on oil and gas and petrochemical applications in particular and
day visitors will be welcomed to the meeting to discuss sealing challenges in
their industry with the panel of international speakers.
The event includes original case study and technical contributions crossing
all aspects of the design and application of fluid sealing that will be of
interest to professionals from industries such as petrochemical, R&D, oil
and gas, health and safety, power generation, paper/pulp, defence,
pharmaceutical, manufacturing, precision machining/cutting, aerospace, food,
automotive/transport, metal industries, fluid power, and mining/mineral
extraction.
Presentations have been grouped into a number of themed sessions that target
specific sectors and topics: mechanical seal analysis; compression packing
materials; rotary shaft seals; reciprocating seals; high pressure gas sealing;
elastomer selection; flange sealing integrity; high-duty dynamic seals; rotary
pressure seals; gasketed joint design.
