Huebner, Michael B.; Thorp, Joseph M.; Buck, Gordon S.; Fernandez, Cesar L. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)The first edition of API 682 was the first broad-based standard covering the design and application of mechanical seals in centrifugal and rotary pumps. One of the main goals of this standard was to capture successful field ...

Sanders, Jack D.; Jones, Roger L.; Heald, Charles C. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)API Standard 610, “Centrifugal Pumps for Petroleum, Heavy Duty Chemical and Gas Industry Services,” has been revised from the Eighth Edition to the Ninth Edition and developed into an International Standard, ISO 13709. The ...

Marscher, William D. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Pump reliability problems are responsible for a large amount of the maintenance budget and lost-opportunity cost at chemical plants, refineries, and many electric utilities. This tutorial outlines the typical reasons for ...
-
Rake, Brad; Terrell, Ray (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Anti-friction bearings in process pumps, by design frequently utilize oil sump lubrication technology. For many years, it was an accepted condition that the lubricating oil used in oil sump bearing lubrication needed to ...
-
Bowden, Peter E.; Fone, Chris J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)The impending revision of API 682/ISO 21049 will include dry containment seals for the first time. These seals have been commercially available for over 15 years. This paper reviews the performance of these seals both in ...

Nelik, Lev; Miller, Chris L.; McGinty, Dave (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)This paper presents installation and field experience of the barrier sealless pump design. Barrier design is a combination of a sealless mag-drive design and gas seal technology. Gas seal separates the fluid end from the ...
-
Weetman, Ronald J.; Gigas, Bernd (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)This paper describes the mechanical design of a mixer with the emphasis on the fluid forces that are imposed on the impellers by the fluid continuum in the mixing vessel. The analysis shows that the forces are a result of ...

Next Generation Pump Systems Enable New Opportunities For Asset Management And Economic Optimization Discenzo, Fred M.; Rusnak, Dennis; Hanson, Lloyd; Chung, Dukki; Zevchek, Joseph (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)There is growing interest in cost-effective techniques that can detect the earliest stage of degradation or malfunction and predict machinery failure. New diagnostic and prognostic techniques may be effectively coupled ...
-
Timouchev, Serguei; Tourret, Jean (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)There is a close link between the pressure pulsation in the pump working cavity and its vibration and noise level. Due to a current trend in increasing rotation speed and power, the problem of noise, vibration, and pressure ...
-
Marchione, Matthew M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Self-lubricating, self-contained fluid-film thrust and journal bearings have been in use since the 1920s. These bearing systems offer relative simplicity in a reliable, stand-alone package. Recent testing has shown that ...
-
Hodgson, Judy; Walters, Trey (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Numerical optimization methods offer a powerful new technology for pump users when combined with pumping system analysis software. Whether the design goal is to reduce first costs or life-cycle costs, this technology ...

Corbo, Mark A.; Stefanko, David B.; Leishear, Robert A. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)The use of long shaft vertical pumps is common practice in the nuclear waste processing industry. Unfortunately, when such pumps employ plain cylindrical journal bearings, they tend to suffer from rotordynamic instability ...
-
Monroe, Todd R.; Palmer, Kermit L. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)This paper outlines a new void-free baseplate installation method that saves over 30 percent of the installation costs, when compared to traditional two-pour grouting methods. Common field installation problems are discussed, ...
