Sealing is a specialism that has very wide applications across industry, but is not covered in depth in many engineering courses. Combining materials science, engineering, chemistry and physics, it requires a very structured approach!

Let our internationally renowned specialist engineers help you find the information you need, or train your staff in designing sealing systems for your products. Or you could attend one of our international conferences to meet a range of experts worldwide.

Information Services
Our specialist, in conjunction with our sealing technology staff, offers an information retrieval service on a one-off or regular basis. Let us do your searching to find the references that will really help - or draw on over 50 years worth of our own research via our Research Reports Catalogue.

Maximum Value Courses
Our training can be delivered for any level of expertise and provide maximum value to participants with practical design sessions, workshops, and ample time for question, answer and discussion.

Our regular 1-day and 2-day courses at Cranfield are very popular and of particular benefit to young engineers. Run on an informal basis, they provide a grounding in designing for practical applications, and include the chance to visit our own test facilities.

Our experts also tutor on courses run regularly in North America under the auspices of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association and Georgia Institute of Technology.

Tailored Courses
Tailored courses to suit the particular needs of your organisation can be planned and provided on your site or at other locations. A variety of the topics covered in our Cranfield courses can be combined for tailored courses, together with any of these additional topics:

• Other sealing systems (e.g.. Metal to metal)
  
• Manufacturing considerations - for the seal and the system
  
• Industrial standards and design codes
  
• Sealing system design and design software
  

Please contact us to discuss your training requirements.
