A Review Of NSS Limitations: New Opportunities
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Specifications of some pump users limit the suction specific speed (Nss) with the objective of selecting more reliable centrifugal pumps. This limitation is based on a statistical evaluation of pump failures published by ...
Validation Of Numerical Procedure For Assessment Of Centrifugal Pump Cavitation Erosion
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
This paper presents validation of a novel method for assessment of the centrifugal pump cavitation erosion with two configurations of a model feed centrifugal pump: with thru shaft, and Cantilever impeller. The method ...
High Energy Abrasive Service Pump Upgrade
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
A refining company in the gulf coast had been experiencing accelerated wear on their coke cutting jet pump resulting in major expenditure and down time on a 6-10 month cycle. Application requirements necessitated a pump ...
Design, Manufacturing, Assembling, Installation, Startup, And First Operating Experience Of A 56 Foot Long Vertical Molten Sulphur Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)
Cavitation In High Energy Pumps - Detection And Assessment Of Damage Potential
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Cavitation In centrifugal pumps is one of the fundamental factors that affect performance, operability, reliability, and life. Every major manufacturer of engineered, high-energy, centrifugal pumps has addressed these ...
Determining The Minimum Safe Flow Line For A 5 Stage, 350 Hp Variable Speed Centrifugal Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
An energy survey revealed that two, a main and spare, 5 stage, 3560 rpm, 350 hp, centrifugal pumps were well oversized for their application. The pumps are used to inject waste water into several disposal wells. Due to the ...
Water Injection Shipper Pump Failures
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Updates In Progress For ISO 13709/API 610, Centrifugal Pumps For Petroleum, Petrochemical, And Natural Gas Industries (Unpublished)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
Reliability Improvements To A High Speed/High Energy Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)
The paper describes the problems encountered and solutions that were implemented to improve the reliability of a high speed/high energy centrifugal pump. Two of these pumps were originally installed in 1984, with a third ...
Solving Vertical Pump Synchronous And Sub-Synchronous Vibration Problems
