Barrier And Buffer Fluids Selection And Considerations For Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The increased use of pressurized and non-pressurized dual mechanical seals has driven more installations to require the use of barrier and buffer fluids. While some end users have viewed the selection of barrier fluids as ...
Simulator To Train Operators On Newly Installed Pumping Equipment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
New screw pumps were installed at an existing offshore oil platform that originally housed only centrifugal pumps, thus creating the need to safely train operators on the new equipment. Therefore, a training simulator was ...
Discuss Group P12: Cryogenic Fluid Pumping Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Discussion Group P09: Sealless Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The Evolution And Application Of Mechanical Seal Face Materials
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The advancement of seal face material technology since the first known mechanical seal design in 1903 can be closely tied to standardization, regulation, and social concerns in industry. The authors will show how these ...
Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting Mechanical Seals and Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Any piece of equipment which has been in operation has a story to tell. The condition of the equipment can uncover a rich set of information which reveals the way the equipment was operated, maintained, and eventually, ...
API 682 Arrangement 2 Configurations - Considerations For Outer Seal And Support System Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
API 682, now in its 4th Edition, has made a concerted effort to accurately define and distinguish between different types of seal configurations available under the designation of ‘Arrangement 2’, including 2CW-CW, 2CW-CS, ...
Compression Packing: A Traditional Sealing Method Achieving High Levels Of Performance With Modern Technology
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The oldest and still quite common sealing device for pumps is compression packing, so called because of the manner in which it performs the sealing function. This tutorial will explain the technology and also clarify some ...
Discussion Group P06: Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Mechanical seals are the most common method of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps and other rotary equipment. Although the basic concepts of a seal is simple, successfully using seals requires an understanding of the ...
The Measured Impact Of Erosion On The Rotodynamic And Performance Characteristics Of A Mixed Flow ESP
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Three stages of a mixed flow electric submersible pump were subjected to 117 hours of erosion using a 2 gram/liter concentration ratio of 100 mesh hydraulic fracture sand to water. The sand passed through the pump one time ...
