Compression Packing

[@YTInnovativeSolution]

Your channel is friggin' awesome! Other people besides the tech minded can learn from this. Your audio is normalized and level throughout the entire video. Your usage of graphics and selection of screen text is spot on. The cutout models you use are modified very clean and nice. Your delivery of information covers the fine details of what is truly relevant and omits that level of TMI that can make a persons eyes glaze over and their mind to temporarily shut down. The length of the vids are just right. The choice of topics may not always sound exciting, but there are many things I learn from each video. I'd love to see this channel in a years time with a shitload of videos and buttload of interactive subscribers. Keep surprising me with the topics - you quickly became one of my favorite tech channels!

[@mosialive]

Probably the best engineering channel to date...

[@burtvincent1278]

Your series of videos quickly encapsulates what it took me 70 years to learn piece meal. Educational institutions were too busy teaching socialism to be of any real use. Keep up the good work.

THIS CHANNEL IS SO GOOD AND SO SMALL WHAAAAAAAAT

[@RocketRaven]

in before 1 million subs :D well in before 10k subs, man this guy is awesome

[@cnchq160]

Yeah, I wondered about that. They do an excellent job. I think having the facilities of a Technical College shows in the quality of the videos. They seem to do a good job at this school. Perhaps Google's "algorithm" takes that into account, that this channel is associated with an institution, and Google may choose to give precedence to a person working out of their shop. Consider this: Which is more entertaining? Watching Adam do a very professional, and very good job explaining things as a Teacher, at a Technical College, or watching a guy like +AvE break stuff?

[@carbon273]

EXACTLY 😭😒😭😭

[@martinda7446]

Gotta say that was brilliant. This man knows his stuff...ing.

[@yashsvidixit7169]

You know what Adam, Your videos are TOP NOTCH and very informative. Please don't stop making these videos.

[@pstrap1311]

Another great video! I'm a mechanic servicing the fishing fleet in my home town in Alaska and just got home from a job repacking the stuffing box on a 52" seiner. 5 1/2" shaft with 3/4" packing. I saw the video and had to watch. This channel has been frequently serendipitous with my activities like that. Thanks Machine Tech Video Blog! I also loved the Case Hardening video.

[@luthmhor]

Thank you so much for putting the effort in to make this video. Super well done, high quality and informative. You really seem to know your stuff and are an excellent speaker. Thanks again!

[@NonciclopediaForEver]

Another great video: your production and didactic values are almost unparalleled on this site.

[@SethMiley]

This channel is great! I hope you do some more videos soon.

[@TheGhirlinzoni]

Hi Adam! My name is Fernando. I'm from Brazil. I'm a Mechanical Technician and I like your videos because they are very nice explained. Congratulations!

[@Busarocks]

Wow, years trying to figure this stuff out and you explain it in one 9 min video. Thank you!

[@backtoafrica895]

This is by far the best video I have seen on packing.

[@buzzersforever7736]

This channel is sooo good, it worth a golden play button !!

[@willlock3644]

Awesome video! Fixed Fire pumps for sprinkler systems are not allowed to have mechanical seals on split case pumps. Compression packing is the only acceptable seal.

[@trogdo]

Fantastic video, presented in an excellent educational style! Looking forward to the next one.

[@HBO1984.]

Thanks for such an imformitive video. I work for a company that makes spiral wound gaskets and distributes compression packing. Now I have at least an inkling on its use and application.

[@PracticalRenaissance]

Love your videos! Every one shows me something I didn't know that I didn't know!

[@kumarprateek1061]

Best channel for us mechanicals out there.

[@neowiza360]

Love this channel, don't love compression packing. high friction+15drops/min+constant maintenance...damn!

[@joelmoerman9125]

excellent video. could you do a video on mechanical seals possibly

[@LaneyMachineTech]

Hi, JulyBurnsRed, That's definitely in the works.

[@backcreekbushcraft]

I'm really looking forward to mechanical seal video!!

[@manmitpadhy4960]

came back to the video just to post about end face mechanical seals :) One a side note, this is really an excellent video

[@ksikka]

@@LaneyMachineTech hello! I would love to learn about mechanical seals.

[@crcdistribution878]

Yes! More videos about fluid sealing would be great. Happy to offer assistance with knowledge or seal samples.

[@laxpors]

Come back Adam! I need to know how more machines work!

[@barrymillen6713]

this channel and this guy... simply fantastic. true inspiration and found lots of tips for when I hold training on metering pumps. good job!!!

[@littlearnold8486]

Im a marine engineer.I just want to say:VERY WELL DONE!!

[@romarkconcepcion5996]

The videos are highly informative. From basic history to its modern application. Please make videos on air compressor air valves maintenance, PD and RD pumps maintenance such as mechanical seal renewal, sleeve renewal etc.

[@ranlan9060]

Just replaced the packing to one of our electric fire pumps, lots of great information from this video!! Would love to see your video on mechanical seals!

[@bahaaalomari380]

It's so great to see you back with a new video, thank you so much for your valuable content, keep the good work ;)

[@perthlimohire6568]

Amazing video. Great explanation, well spoken and easy to follow.

[@marshaul]

Great content, guys. Keep it up and this channel can be as big as the other "serious" guys.

[@dougsneep]

Another great video!!! Love the added history lesson with the original application on ships.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Interesting. Would be cool if you could provide some reading materials for speeds, pressures and dimensions.

[@twm2darkness]

He uses the book "Pumps and Pumping" by Skeet Arasmith in his Industrial Pumps class. Hope that helps. Im not 100% certain, but you may also be able to find some help in the Machinery's Handbook

[@agentgreengnome]

This channel is great! Excellent video. Clear and concise. Thank you.

[@alanc.4437]

Always learn something new in your video. Highly appreciate all your effort. Keep it up !!

[@martinstoilov7923]

[@ideasbetter799]

very effective way to describe the things in this channel, plz add more videos

[@rajendersingh9367]

I freaking loved it! Thanks for the hardwork budd.

[@sitarambonduli7623]

Your style of explanation is really unique...

[@DCC72]

As a Tribologist (expert in friction, lubrication, and wear), I give this practical video an 'A'.

[@whoopiecushion97]

Please make more videos. Please. You're channel is awesome!

[@keishrich]

Excellent video. Thanks Adam!

[@stupossibleify]

Excellent explanation! Now I want to pack a pump!

[@bahaaalomari380]

You Sir definitely deserve more subscribers, please keep this channel going, your videos are awesome :)

[@ngtinghong9955]

Love your videos, look forward to you making more!

[@NikKinnaird]

Thanks for the interesting, and very well produced video. Just curious what video editing software are you using?

[@LaneyMachineTech]

Hi, Nik, Thanks for the support. We're using Adobe Premiere Pro for our video editing, Adobe Illustrator for our graphics and the animations are done in Solidworks.

[@NikKinnaird]

Thanks for the response! Keep up the excellent work!

[@muzairanwar]

Moaaarrrr videos please. I learn so much. :)

[@jeetenzhurlollz8387]

man your channel is awesome

[@eseoyoma6347]

I love it.......Good Job Sir..You are really helping young engineers like me

[@pimplepickerton]

I admire this mans ability to say shaft without cracking a smile.

[@ImranKhan-bs8ge]

Adam, you really make the topic interesting excellent work, but one request kindly uploads more, as a frequency of 4-5 topic weekly. Need your guidance in the field.

[@aimanfaris3394]

Hope to see updates on the intro/explanation of rotating machines (compressor/etc) ...you’re good at explaining these stuff

[@justinbackiney]

Your videos are great, please keep them coming!

[@samuelsmalley5399]

Thank you for this video, using it to teach distribution operator test prep class!

[@apeterson23]

I soooo need you to show me how to change the packing. Love your vids

[@curtisjones5950]

Awesome videos! When will you have your video on how to replace the compression packing? That would be awesome.

[@Jadfitree]

Hi i hope you can make videos explain about compressor seal such as labyrinth seal. Should be awesome!

[@RajanKumar-xc8pm]

amazing video,learnt so many concepts..salute to ur work.

[@AdeSwash]

Interesting video, thankyou

[@shankhan7135]

Most amaaaaaazing channel and amazing explainations.. feel sorry that it is so limited and small... We really need you to learn engineering.. plz upload regularly and kindly respond to the requests.. thanx God bless

[@Royz1512]

Excellent video, thank you for making it!

[@damienparker3541]

Excellent explanation loved it

[@wikithatshizy]

I absolutely can’t tell. Did you actually cut a fourth of a pump housing off or are you just a god at video editing?

[@AlexIverson24]

Thanks a lot for the amazing video you're presenting! Good job!

[@jgdeyo]

Again great video with excellent visual aids, should be noted new packing shouldn't be tighten significantly initially and once the pump is in operation that packing adjustments have to be made in small increments over a period of time. If the pump is operating at any speed (hundreds of RPM) it is very easy to over tighten the packing. The stuffing box will over heat and in extreme cases if driven by an electric motor the pump can cause the motor to draw excessive amperage.

[@LaneyMachineTech]

Very true. I hope to demonstrate packing replacement procedures in a later video. (Who knows when I'll have time...)

[@phonggeomin]

Really kool, basic knowledge for everyone. Thanks!

[@wajihslama3224]

Interesting video. Thank you so much. Good job.

[@rossg9363]

My friends old trawler boat has this compression packing on his about 50mm drive shaft between the in board motor and the propeller... i spun out when i saw it and found out about this seal for the first time, his has a grease nipple for lubrication thought.

[@harinathprajapati7400]

I like your videos. They are very informative Keep up the good work

[@marsogreen2411]

I know it's an old video, but I hope I can still ask a question. What would be a general rule on the amount of compression upon new installation? 30%? 50%? Thanks in advance and good job on this great video

[@Andrew260RS]

Wow this is a amazing video!

[@anthonygiordano6265]

Great Video Adam you rock man! Please make more Take care buddy

[@mcpel262]

A million thanks. It’s very helpful.

[@knightnicholasd]

Great video. I always wondered how submerged shafts were kept from leaking all over the place. So, will you now be doing a video about the other kind of leak stopper used on pump shafts? I hope so.

[@thetruth156real3]

That’s a lantern ring between the packing. Mechanical seals can be retro fitted to that type of pump with very little modification.

[@billiondollardan]

This is cool. I now understand a bit better what happens when stern glands on boats are packed

[@cogitateandabet]

Great! Please make a video on mechanical sealing 🙏

[@nayantha88]

Very helpful. thank you very much. can you upload more videos about water pumps

[@tafadzwawachi5782]

Thank you . definitely i learned something .great video great work

[@anandhari5059]

Very informative... Things they dont tell in books. Thank you!

[@AdamMargie4ever]

Another great video!

[@ridleyjoseph7337]

Video was very helpful.

[@nathanlink4926]

Your Quality is really good for your channel size

[@doxxius3536]

Good channel. Keep up the good work!

[@tomasblazek8531]

Ways in which are mechanical seals used, would be interesting video, please consider it.

[@ChadAbney]

Another great video.

[@schatzemanly6749]

Can you add the point of adjusting the packing gland in small increments to prevent "smoking the packing"?

[@mercuryION]

These are great videos. If their is opportunity to talk more about mechanical seals as well as bearing isolators that would be awesome :)

[@ghostdog662]

Outstanding video

[@prasantapal8107]

Thanks for making interested video

[@leslirodriguezbendezu1497]

Excellent video

[@zandemen]

The rudder shaft can simply be extended above the water line and require no sealing at all. A better example is the propeller shaft, which must be installed near horizontally and it is impractical to extend it above the water line.

[@ebsy4089]

Great videos. Love your channel.

[@chrisbleurgh7425]

Shit mate, these are great videos - only wish there were more, but I'm guessing these take a fair amount of time to set up, shoot and edit!

[@jamattos9957]

very good video! Congrtz buddy!

[@knafis]

nice vdos does youtube pays u for ur vdos?

[@maths3967]
