Effect Of Mechanical Unbalance On Vibrations, Forces And Reliability Of A Single-Stage Centrifugal Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The effect of rotor mechanical unbalance on pump vibrations was tested for a typical ANSI pump. It was found that significant damping of vibrations occurs at actual (wet) operations as compared to dry run. Rotor forces and ...
Benefits Of A Balanced Interference Fit Bellows Seal Design In High Temperature Corrosive Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Metal bellows seals, originally developed for the aerospace/defense industry, are now widely accepted in the petrochemical, chemical, and general industrial markets. Metal bellows seals offer enhanced dynamic tracking of ...
Zero Emission Solutions For Mechanical Seals On Light Hydrocarbons
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
While simple mechanical seals will continue to improve in performance and be extensively used, there are occasions where zero leakage is required, and where the currently recognized option is the glandless pump, which ...
Corrosion In Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Many of the corrosion-related problems encountered in pumps during their useful lives are reviewed. Seven forms of corrosion are discussed with guidelines given that could mitigate pump damage if proper consideration were ...
Cavitation And Recirculation Field Problems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Advanced Mechanical Seals 201 - Demystifying Piping Plans and Support Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Mechanical seals are a critical component in the operation and reliability of centrifugal pumps and other rotating equipment. While there is a great deal of focus on the fundamentals of mechanical seal design, there is an ...

Pump Cavitation - Physics, Prediction, Control, Troubleshooting
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
500 Centrifugal Pump Failures Prevented Using New Prevention Strategy
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
In a major refinery there was excessive failures of centrifugal pumps, that cost the company millions of dollars every year. A new failure prevention strategy was developed to reduce the high cost of failures.
