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)
Smoke Or Substance? .. Some Misconceptions About Desirable Construction Features Of Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
What I decided to accomplish in this tutorial is to examine a few of the myths that pertain to centrifugal pump construction and to try to shed some light on their origins as well as on their validity. More specifically, ...
Design And Operation Refinement Of A Multistage Light Hydrocarbon Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
One of the most critical pieces of equipment in an Olefin plant is the ethylene product pump. The challenge of designing a vertical process pump that will deliver a high vapor pressure liquid with poor lubricating qualities ...
Development And Qualification Of A Magnetically Coupled Process Pump For API 610 7th Edition Services
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
A magnetically coupled process pump configuration has been developed to provide strict compliance with API Standard 610, 7th Edition, and Section VIII of the ASME Code by rigorous reading and interpretation of these standards ...
Inside The Sealless Pump
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
Sealless pumps are now specified as the preferred type for handling of toxic, hazardous, and environment threatening chemicals. Magnetically driven sealless pumps have emerged as the first choice, due to their simplicity ...
Mechanical Seal Chamber Design For Improved Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
The influence of pump chamber design to the environment, and mechanical seal reliability has been the been the subject of a major collaborative United Kingdom study. The key mechanisms involved in controlling the flow ...
Pump Vibrations
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1992)
The reliability and failure mechanisms of high energy pumps used in the utilities industry and the high suction specific speed pumps used in the hydrocarbon processing industry show surprising parallels as to root causes. ...
