(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
-
(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 ...

(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station; Texas A & M University. Libraries; Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2020)This presentation explores common problems with pumps and pump stations, issues with pump intake hydraulics, HI standards, physical modeling – key considerations and presents the case study of Dallas Elm Fork WTP Pump Station 1.
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)The reliability of a mechanical seal depends on more than the design of the seal itself. It also depends heavily on the practices used to install the mechanical seal into the centrifugal pump or other equipment. The actual ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2009)When working around equipment for a long time, it is easy to become accustomed to it working as it should. It can make us numb to potential problems, especially is they come on gradually. This tutorial will present some ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)Selecting a positive displacement pump is many times a confusing process. Unlike centrifugal pumps were pumping technology is familiar, positive displacement pumps operate differently than centrifugal and there is a wide ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)Anti-friction bearings in process pumps, by design frequently utilize oil sump lubrication technology. For many years, it was an accepted condition that the lubricating oil used in oil sump bearing lubrication needed to ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)Dry run failures in sealless pumps continue to be of major concern to users and, in some cases, have precluded the purchase of these types of pumps. Users are demanding robust pump designs that are more tolerant of dry ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1975)This paper discusses the applications of borescope photography for marine gas turbine condition monitoring. A series of borescope photographs are presented showing some of the more common degradation identified in large ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1974)This paper describes the maintenance requirements of the Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Marine Applications and the accessibility designed into the turbine to allow the operator to carry out both required repair work and classification ...

-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2014)Of the numerous process centrifugal pumps undergoing repair right this very minute, an estimated 90% have failed randomly before. Some have run just fine until the very first repair two or three years after startup, and ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)Achieving lowest possible life cycle cost (LCC) and valueoptimized mean-times-between-repairs (MTBRs) are the undisputed goals of thoughtful pump users. Achieving these goals requires concentrating not only on pump hydraulics, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2011)The machinery utilized in the Oil and Gas Industry, (Upstream, Midstream and Downstream) is undergoing very significant changes. In the past years, the use of new designs or prototype machinery was strongly discouraged. ...
