The Fluid Sealing Association Launches Updated Website

17.01.2014

The Fluid Sealing Association (FSA) has announced the launch of their newly updated website. The website has been re-designed with the end users of fluid sealing products in mind, with a focus on four product categories to make it easier to navigate and find the information they need on mechanical seals, expansion joints, pump and valve packings, and gaskets.

The FSA works to influence, educate, and raise awareness on products and issues within the fluid sealing industry. This website supports these efforts by featuring technical data and publications, industry standards, training materials, and extensive product information with a list of manufacturers.

The website will continue to include the very popular Sealing Sense articles, answering frequently asked questions on fluid sealing practices, and the Mechanical Seals Life Cycle Cost Estimator, a tool for use when specifying capital projects or upgrading existing rotating equipment technology.

A new feature on this website is the blog for each product category, to provide a forum for the easy exchange of technical information and a discussion of issues that are of common interest to the FSA’s manufacturer members and their customers.
