Improving Pump Reliability And Longevity By Running In The Sweet Zone
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
Influence Of Impeller Suction Specific Speed On Vibration Performance
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
The most commonly used hard limitation for pump suction specific speed is 11,000 (US units). This hard limit grew out of the recommendations from a 1982 reliability study by J.L. Hallam (Hallam 1982). Concomitant testing ...
Design Of Pump Casings: Guidelines For A Systematic Evaluation Of Centrifugal Pump Pressure Boundary Failure Modes And Their Mechanisms
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
This document contains recommendations of rigorous pump casing design techniques. A comparison of different design methods is made. The most sophisticated of these is then described in detail. Finally, a list of design ...
Design And Verification Testing Of New Balance Piston For High Boost Multiphase Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
In 2011, the first Subsea Multiphase Pump (MPP) able to deliver a differential pressure of 2175 psi (150 bar) was introduced to the market. This major innovation for the subsea industry conquered the 17 year old 725 psi ...
RTD Failure in Hydrodynamic Thrust Bearing
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2014)
The Waukesha Bearing Corporation in 1997 introduced a researche about thrust pad flutter and mention that: Tilting pad thrust bearings are commonly used on both the active and inactive (loaded and unloaded) sides of thrust ...
