(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)In 2014 a full scale high viscosity pump performance test was performed for a 2-stage vertically suspended (VS1) API610 pump. The high viscosity test scope was part of an ongoing EPC project and exclusively conducted for ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)High-speed gear pinion precession-shuttling and noise, caused by overhanging weight of the coupling and by misalignment forces generated by tooth friction in the coupling, are being controlled by reduced bearing clearances. ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)API 610 Eleventh Edition, Centrifugal Pumps for Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries, has been updated to the Twelfth Edition. The Eleventh Edition was identical to the ISO 13709 Second Edition; however, API ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)This paper presents a comprehensive treatise of the antecedents, evolution, developments, and inventions relating to turbomachinery from early paddle wheels to modern turbojets emphasizing the constant challenge, failures, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2013)Concept of Safe diagram was introduced 30 years ago (Singh and Schiffer, 1982) for the analysis of the vibration characteristics of packeted bladed disc for steam turbines. A detailed description of Safe diagram for steam ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)High pressure centrifugal compressors are often equipped with honeycomb seal on balance drum in order to optimize rotordynamic stability. In very high pressures applications (>200 bar) the direct stiffness and damping of ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1984)The forces and moments stiffness criteria established by API-610, Sixth Edition has resulted in a new generation of horizontal process pumps and baseplates, each with increased structural rigidity. Pictures and text ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)A poorly performing pump frequently exhibits both hydraulic and mechanical problems. Excessive noise, vibration, degradation of discharge pressure, repeated bearing failures, and sometimes impeller breakage lead to high ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)In this session, a brief introduction about electrostatic discharge phenomena will be done. Then three historical cases with Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) issue will be analyzed in order to explain how to detect Electrostatic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)Six topics that should extend the life of a boiler feedpump will be described in detail. These topics will explore both operational and maintenance techniques that, when instituted, have been shown to extend the useful ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)Many centrifugal pump reliability problems are closely related to oversizing of pumps, which leads to highly restricted discharge valve operation, and flowrates are far below the best efficiency point (BEP), which are ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)This paper covers techniques for retrofitting turbomachinery to accept "stab-in" type thermocouples for bearing temperature monitoring. The objectives of bearing temperature monitoring and shutdown systems are to (1) avoid ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)For the typical machinery engineer, the difficulties encountered with making reliability improvements lie not with the “mechanics” of improvements, but with justifying the cost of improvements. It is difficult to translate ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)This tutorial will guide the end user through the process of specifying and installing canned motor pumps in refinery services. Specific examples will be shown of both successes and failures and lessons learned will be discussed.
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)Subsea processing gives pump engineers permanent technical challenges due to the comprehensive specifications that often stretch the proven limits of technology. It is particularly true for pumps that have to boost a ...
