    • Boyadjis, Paul A. (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      In order to fully understand the true causes of the elevated vibration of a non-clog pump, driven by a long drive-shaft, a detailed FEA analysis was used to simulate the entire pump system (foundation and piping) to identify ...
    • Schmidt, Glenn; Hosanna, Rich; Bakalchuk, Vladimir; McCraw, Jim (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
      Rotating equipment and instrument engineers working with dry gas seals should attend this tutorial to increase their knowledge of methods for monitoring secondary seals. Over the last several years a number of compressor ...
    • Nelson, William E. (Ed) (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
      Many centrifugal pumps are doomed to premature failure because the total pump installation was not evaluated or the repair activity coordinated to correct the basic cause of the initial failure. Pump users have a great ...
    • LeBleu, Julien (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
      Monitoring vibration as a predictive maintenance tool will not consistently prevent catastrophic damage and/or fluid release from sealess pumps. When vibration readings are taken periodically, a pump may be destroyed between ...

      Suggested Topics: Condition monitoring methods Effectiveness of condition monitoring on rotating equipment Value of, and ROI of, condition-based monitoring Vertical pump monitoring Below ground monitoring in vertical ...
    • Sandberg, Mark (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2017)
    • Onari, Maki (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)
    • Hay, Jeff (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      Motion Amplification utilizes a camera to turn each pixel into a displacement sensor capable of measuring vibrations and amplifying them to a level visible to the eye. This capability lends itself to an advanced troubleshooting ...
    • Bellocq, Pablo; Gelin, Alain; Thibaut, Edouard (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2021)
      This case study will present the failure of the LS coupling of a variable speed moto compressor, due to a resonance of the first critical torsional speed while running at Minimum Operating Speed. The path followed for the ...
    • Thomson, William T.; Gilmore, Ronald J. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
      Induction motor drives are the most widely used electrical drive system and typically consume 40 to 50 percent of an industrialized nation’s total generating capacity. In the USA the total generating capacity is approximately ...
    • Cooper, Paul; Bibet, Pierre-Jean (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
      This short course targets Rotating Equipment engineers, Process engineers, and Project engineers interested in gaining a better understanding of the unique characteristics of Multiphase Pumps. The agenda is built to go ...
    • Bibet, Pierre-Jean; Cooper, Paul; Moore, Mike; Heyl, Bob (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)

    • Yang, Jinseok; Kim, Kangmoon (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)
      Generally, the centrifugal pump vibration caused by mis-alignment, unbalance or bearing failure. But, I have seen two abnormal vibration phenomena in a multi-stage high pressure pump which has 13th stage impeller.First ...
    • Guerrero, Ricardo; Grebinnyk, Kirill; Gowreesan, Vamadevan (Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
      This tutorial session is intended to provide insights into the failure analysis approach taken by authors for various components across different types of turbomachinery, such as steam turbines, axial and centrifugal ...
    • Cooper, Paul; Schiavello, Bruno; Salis, Jacques de; Marolles, Charles D.; Prang, Allan J.; Broussard, Dan (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1996)
      Pumping crude oil and gas without prior separation greatly reduces the machinery and platform space required. Multiphase pumps can be located at the surface or subsea and are designed primarily as a) two-screw rotary or ...
    • Vetter, Gerhard; Wirth, Wolfgang; Korner, Heiko; Pregler, Sabine (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2000)
      Crude oil and gas production can be enhanced by multiphase pumping from the well subsea to far distant production platforms. The twin-screw pump has proven quite suitable for this application. The positive displacement ...
