API 671 - Couplings What Is The Impact On The User?
Abstract
Flexible coupling are a very small part of turbomachinery train in terms of the total capital investment. In terms of its contribution to reliability, the flexible coupling takes on a more significant role. Unfortunately, the past history has been that this contribution was more negative than positive. Put more simply – When the flexible coupling does its job, it goes unnoticed. However, when the coupling malfunctions, it draws the spotlight very quickly. The answer is not just simply to spend more money on the coupling, although an increase in cost is an unfortunate by-product as the problems of achieving reliability are attacked.
