Nondestructive Testing of Turbomachinery Components
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
Nondestructive evaluation is becoming increasingly important in determining the quality of materials and fabrications used in the manufacture and maintenance of rotating machinery. NDE has long been used as a tool for ...
A New Method For Computing Minimum Flow
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Appropriate specification of minimum flows is important to avert pump reliability problems. A method is presented for the calculation of minimum flow by allowing a satisfactory margin below the onset of flow recirculation ...
Table of Contents for the Proceedings of the 5th International Pump Users Symposium
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Centrifugal Pump Specification And Selection - A System's Approach
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Proper pump specification and selection results in the best pump being purchased for the required service. Economic considerations may meant that “best” is not always the most efficient, best hydraulic fit or most expensive. ...
Face Seal Balance Ratio Selection For Two Phase Single And Multicomponent Mixtures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
It is well known that the fluid pressure distribution between the faces of a mechanical seal greatly affects seal performance. In cases where a sealed fluid changes phase from liquid to vapor as it leaks across the seal ...
Reliability And Future Development Of High Pressure Diaphragm Pumps For Process Service
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
The aim of pump development in recent years has been mainly reliability, safety, low maintenance, and the avoidance of dangerous leakages. For years, more and more rigid regulations against pollution and for better safety ...
Pump Baseplate Installation And Grouting
(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 ...
Influence Of Gas Seals On Rotor Stability Of A High Speed Hydrogen Recycle Compressor.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
A gas seal retrofit project for a 2800 hp, 10200 rpm, five-stage hydrogen recycle compressor is described. This barrel-type compressor operates with a 1205 psia suction pressure and 1490 psia discharge pressure. The unit ...
Safe Diagram - A Design And Reliability Tool For Turbine Blading.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The complex field of turbine blade vibration has long been in need of improved tools to help predict the reliability of blading. The SAFE interference diagram is presented as such a tool. It presents much more information ...
Vacuum Distillation Methods For Lube Oils Increase Turbomachinery Reliability.
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1988)
The lube oils in self-contained reservoirs for turbomachinery in hydrocarbon processing plants are subject to contamination and deterioration from airborne dust, component debris, system corrosion, heat, and water. Oil ...
