Hi there,
In the last issue, we discuss about mechanical seals and how
the various components work together to seal the liquid from
escaping at the pump shaft area.
In this issue, we will focus on a much simpler way of sealing
a rotating shaft of a pump. It's by using gland packing. This
method of sealing has been in use for a very long time, and is
still being used today.
There are advantages and disadvantages in using them.
Perhaps the first and foremost reason for replacing them with
mechanical seals is because of the fact that gland packing needs
a small amount of leak for cooling purposes.
A person who installs a gland packing must ensure that the latter
does not grip the shaft too tightly. A little dripping must be
allowed for. Pumps that contain hazardous liquids should not use
them at all.
Pumps that contain gland packing will usually be constructed with
a small well and piping at the gland to lead the leak water away
from the pump so as to ensure that the water will not damage the
bearings, housing or foundation. This can really mess up the pump
area if there is a choke at the drain piping that prevents the
leaked water from flowing away.
The pump gland nuts may need to be tightened every now and then due
to slight loosening after some time of operation. This is because
the nut cannot be tightened hard against the soft packing.
Because the packing gland rubs against the shaft, it will tend to
wear down the shaft. For this reason, and especially for larger
pumps using packing glands, there will usually be a shaft sleeve
that can be slipped over the shaft. The wear down will then occur
only on the shaft sleeve. This can be replaced instead of the more
expensive shaft.
Another disadvantage of using packing glands is the fact that there
is a certain amount of skill needed for cutting and installing the
gland in order for it to work properly. It's more difficult to get
consistent results.
Although there are disadvantages in using gland packing, there are
also good reasons for using them.
They are less expensive to use compared to mechanical seals. If
chosen and installed correctly, they can last for a very long time.
When changing packing glands, the pump housing need not be opened up.
This can be an advantage when skilled labor is in short supply.
Keeping stock of spares is not a problem because they can be used for
all pump brands as long as they have the same gland sizes. Pump
packing materials are more robust compared to the fragile and delicate
mechanical seals.

Until next time...

MY TWO CENTS: Corey Rudl's Ultimate Seminar Videos
--------------------------------------------------
I've read just about every Internet marketing book, course,
report, etc. that I could get my hands on. Some are great,
some not so good, and others go straight into the garbage!
So I was pretty curious when a friend e-mailed me about a new
video series that Internet marketing legend Corey Rudl just
released...
I've been a fan of Corey's other stuff for ages, but I have to
say that I was literally blown away with what he's done with
this video series!
Not only do these tapes include footage from some extremely
exclusive events -- I'm talking $5,000 a seat! -- but there are
also a TON of "breakaway" sections where Corey sits down with
you and goes into greater detail about things like:
- How even complete "rookies" can start their own online
business in less than 48 hours!
- How to build and grow an incredibly responsive e-mail list
of people who are practically begging to buy your products.
- His unbeatable four-step profit formula that guarantees the
success of ANY online business!
... and much more!
If you'd rather learn how to start your own online business by
watching TV than by reading some boring textbook, you should
really check this out:

7 QUICK STEPS FOR A MARKETING PLAN
© Copyright 1998-2003 By Stephen Boaze - Boaze.com
Most small business owners and entrepreneurs, online or offline,
chose not to plan. Planning sounds difficult, time-consuming,
and downright boring. After all, running a business consumes all
of the daylight hours and most of the night as well - there is
no time for planning. Although this point about "no time for
planning" has a lot of truth to it, the risk of flying blind is
too great to leave to chance. While your competition would like
its activities to generate a return, your written plan turns your
marketing into a planned investment rather than a hopeful risk.
Creating a marketing plan can be done relatively quickly and
provides for a clear direction for your business.
The seven basic steps include:
*Define the purpose of your marketing.
*State the benefits of your product or service.
*Select your target audience.
*Describe your niche.
*Identify the marketing tools you will use.
*Articulate your identity.
*Create your budget.
The purpose of your marketing defines what you will use to
measure the success of your marketing efforts. It is usually a
measurable item such as the number of new clients in the next
three months, or the number of new business leads generated.
When you assign specific numbers to your marketing program, you
have the ability to see if what you thought would be a good idea
really is a good idea - in other words, "How effective was your
marketing program?"
When stating the benefits of your products or services, be sure
to focus on benefits that your target audience will experience.
Many companies confuse features with benefits. Features are
inherent in your product or service. Benefits are what the buyer
gets from your products or services. Your bookstore may be open
24 hours (feature), while the buyer sees convenience (feature)
that motivates them to be your customer.
Planning is all about anticipating future events and defining a
direction for your company. A good plan is easy to understand,
clearly links objectives to strategies, is specific and
measurable, and has flexibility. As pointed out earlier, an
effective yet brief plan can be written in just seven sentences.
Using this approach, planning is straightforward and relatively
quick.
