Tirunagari, Prashanthi; Rasmussen, Darin; Wasser, Jim; Morton, John (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)Three years ago, the Non-Pushing Secondary Seal (NPSS) technology was introduced to the pipeline industry and since then it has successfully addressed challenging pipeline services. Over 300 seals have been installed ...

Rasmussen, Darin; Wasser, Jim; Morton, John (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)Crude oil pipeline pumps traditionally suffer from seal leakage due to the fretting or wearing of the dynamic O-ring. A new concept secondary seal has been developed to eliminate this fretting occurrence. All major seal ...

Steigerwald, Tom; Wasser, James; Morton, John (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries, [2019])The 66A dual bushing arrangement is used to provide leak detection on crude oil pipeline pumps. Here the effectiveness of the arrangement in detecting seal leakage and providing leakage containment are examined through ...

Kalfrin, Brian; Wasser, Jim; Escontrias, Raul; Morton, John; Steigerwald, Tom (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)Mechanical seal selection for pipeline applications can be a challenging task considering the application pressure ranges, speeds, and the properties of the fluids being moved. Variable fluid properties present their own ...
