The Hands-on Valve Packing Installation Seminar will be held on Wednesday, July 15th from 3:00pm to 4:00pm and presented by Vance St. Jean – Senior Stationary Equipment Specialist for AW Chesterton and moderated by Rodney Roth – Manager Strategic Accounts – Stationary Equipment for AW Chesterton. This hands-on workshop will be located at the Speakers’ Corner on the Expo floor and will offer valve packing installation for valve sealing integrity to meet low E compliance demands.
Attending the “Hands-On Valve Packing Installation Seminar” will afford you the opportunity to learn “Best Practices” for low emission valve packing installation/valve sealing integrity, while pointing out key differences from traditional valve packing installation you may have learned in the past. There will be a review of the “Valve Condition Requirements” as proposed in the new “Low E Addendum” being added to API RP621. You will be instructed by Vance St. Jean who has over 30 years of field applications experience and continually trains valve technicians for both field and shop repair. Vance also has trained and continues to train end user personnel from engineering, reliability and quality to mechanics across all industries for all types of valves, including traditional on/off valves, critical path MOVs, and control valves. Additionally, for those interested, a card certifying you as a “Certified Packing Installer” will be provided upon completion of the workshop through AW Chesterton and Valve World Americas.
