This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to check, dismantle, select, reassemble and install a range of mechanical seals.

Skills covered by this unit include the knowledge of appropriate applications for a range of mechanical seals and the ability to remove, select, repair or replace all component parts of the seal.

Where straightforward replacement of seals is required see unit MEM18055 Dismantle, replace and assemble engineering components.

Lubrication requirements are attended to according to suppliers’ instructions and recommendations or specifications.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Seals include one (1) or more of the following:	carbon stellite neoprene other associated materials
Mechanical seals include (1) one or more of the following:	pusher non-pusher conventional balanced unbalanced cartridge single spring multiple spring

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
