-
(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 ...

(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)This tutorial deals with pump cavitation, discussing various net positive suction head required (NPSHR) criteria, net positive suction head available (NPSHA) margins and impeller life expectancy. It gives an introduction ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)Thousands of dollars are wasted annually in a typical petrochemical plant through inefficient operation of pumps. Excess capacity, changing operating conditions, inefficient control, and inadequate maintenance are some of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)This paper describes the successful application of cavitation flow visualization to redesign the impeller of an 8.5-MW (11,400 hp) high energy double suction single stage boiler feedpump. Dual purpose of the investigation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)Information technology, specifically computer mediated communication (CMC), will revolutionize the pump industry, from selection through installation, operation, and maintenance. There will be winners and losers. It will ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)At a major oil products refinery, an aggressive effort has been ongoing to improve centrifugal pump reliability and efficiency. Working closely with a manufacturer of high-grade thermoplastics, the company has developed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1998)Market pressures are demanding cost reductions in the process industries. Most operators are seeking to achieve substantial savings through reductions in the maintenance and “real” operating costs of centrifugal pumps of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)During the life of a plant, there often arises a need to change a pump’s rating to match a new plant operating condition or raise the mean time between repair (MTBR) of an unreliable pump. In these cases, rerating the pump ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)Delmarva Power Indian River Power Station’s Unit 4 has had boiler feed pump reliability problems since startup in 1980. The pump has been rebuilt nine times with post overhaul operability ranging from 30 minutes to 16 ...
