    • Major Foundation Repair Of A Twenty Ton Centrifugal Compressor. 
      Garrett, Walter L.; Monroe, Perry C. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
      In the course of purchasing, installation, and startup of turbomachinery, much attention has been given to process design, machine design, piping design, control systems, and economics. Oftentimes however, there is a lack ...
    • On Steam Solution Of A Prototype 8000 HP Motor Instability Problem. 
      Monroe, Perry C.; Salamone, Dana J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
      This paper presents a typical field problem that most maintenance engineers in any petrochemical plant could encounter. Two 4000 hp through-drive electric motors were totally destroyed when the inboard coupling failed. ...
    • Pump Baseplate Installation And Grouting 
      Monroe, Perry C. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
      Methods used by the author to level and epoxy grout pump baseplates. The methods used are not the only way pumps can be installed, but if followed, will ensure a 100 percent void free grout job. Execution of the leveling ...
    • The Road To Reliable Pumps 
      Monroe, Perry C. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
    • Troubleshooting Tactics To Improve Pump Mean Time Between Repairs 
      Joseph, John P.; Monroe, Perry C. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
      Most pump reliability problems are rooted in basic errors that are made in the design, application, installation, maintenance, and/or operation of pumping systems. When the final, “correct,” solution to the system problem ...
    • Understanding And Preventing Steam Turbine Overspeeds. 
      Nelson, William E.; Monroe, Perry C. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
      Destructive overspeeding of steam turbines due to poor component design, inadequate maintenance, and improper operating practices are all too common. The total cost of a turbine runaway can run into the millions of dollars ...
