Discussion Groups / International Pump User Symposium (20th : 2003)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Developments In High Performance Seal Designs For Critical High Pressure Offshore And Pipeline Applications
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Ever demanding business and operating conditions have highlighted the need for significant improvements in the reliability of high duty mechanical seals. With platform operators under pressure to minimize deferred oil ...
Advances In Mechanical Sealing - An Introduction To API 682 Second Edition
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The first edition of API 682 was the first broad-based standard covering the design and application of mechanical seals in centrifugal and rotary pumps. One of the main goals of this standard was to capture successful field ...
Design Consideration For A Large Mixer Used In An Agitated Column Application
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Industrial agitator or mixer configurations and associated applications present the design engineer with a unique set of challenges. This was especially true when a major chemical company required an agitator for a large ...
Advisory Committee / International Pump User Symposium (20th : 2003)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
Numerical Simulation Of BPF Pressure Pulsation Field In Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
There is a close link between the pressure pulsation in the pump working cavity and its vibration and noise level. Due to a current trend in increasing rotation speed and power, the problem of noise, vibration, and pressure ...
Practical Use Of Rotordynamic Analysis To Correct A Vertical Long Shaft Pump's Whirl Problem
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The use of long shaft vertical pumps is common practice in the nuclear waste processing industry. Unfortunately, when such pumps employ plain cylindrical journal bearings, they tend to suffer from rotordynamic instability ...
Next Generation Pump Systems Enable New Opportunities For Asset Management And Economic Optimization
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
There is growing interest in cost-effective techniques that can detect the earliest stage of degradation or malfunction and predict machinery failure. New diagnostic and prognostic techniques may be effectively coupled ...
Abnormal Vertical Pump Suction Recirculation Problems Due To Pump-System Interaction
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
It is well documented that the proper operation of vertical centrifugal pumps is greatly dependent upon the entire pump/piping system, which includes the piping geometry and the system operating conditions. Oftentimes, ...
Introduction To Sealing Mixers In The Pharmaceutical And Biotech Industries
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
While other segments of industry have slowed the biotech and pharmaceutical industries are emerging as strong growth industries. To participate in this promising growth the mechanical seal manufacturers have begun to focus ...
