• Excessive Axial Load on Main Oil Line Pump Thrust Bearing, Measurement and Control 

  Strachan, Martin; Severs, Peter; Sharples, Andrew; Woolsey, Clive; Vickers, Tim (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)

  This case study describes the deployment of an axial load measurement and control solution for centrifugal pumps experiencing high bearing temperatures on the Non-Drive End (NDE). Through the real-time measurement of the ...
• Video Based Vibration: A tutorial and case study with a live demonstration and data analysis on real life pump data 

  Hay, Jeff (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)

  Recent advances in camera technology allows the user to detect subtle motion and amplify that motion to a level visible with the naked eye. Furthermore displacements, phase and frequency of motions can all be determined ...
• How to detect Electrostatic discharge (ESD) using proximity probes on rotating machines 

  Christin, Guillaume; Peton, Nicolas (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)

  In this session, a brief introduction about electrostatic discharge phenomena will be done. Then three historical cases with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) issue will be analyzed in order to explain how to detect Electrostatic ...
• Turbomachinery for Refinery Applications 

  Brun, Klaus; Pettinato, Brian; Ross, Stephan; Bauer, Derrick; Neil, Adam; Thorp, Joseph; Kurz, Rainer (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)

  This tutorial covers the basics, applications, and operation of compressors, expanders, steam turbines, and gas turbines in refinery applications. Modern refineries utilize a wide range of turbomachinery that must flexibly ...
• Development and Field testing of Strain Gauge Based Torque measurement system for Oil Pipeline Pump Application 

  Satish, Hemanth; Phillips, Dan; Barkow, Chris (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)

  As part of a PRCI (Pipeline Research Council International) project that involved developing a field testing procedure for large oil pipeline pumps, this case study focuses on the development of a system to precisely measure ...
