Shaft Alignment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Proper alignment of rotating equipment has long been recognized as a prerequisite to safe, reliable operation. Achieving proper alignment, however, involves much more than merely adjusting the machines so that the shafts ...
Testing And Field Performance Of A High Duty NGL Pipeline Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
An improved multiple seal design was developed for a critical high performance pipeline pumping application with a difficult range of conditions. The pumps are four stage construction, with a 700 hp electric motor and ...
Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting Mechanical Seals and Systems
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Any piece of equipment which has been in operation has a story to tell. The condition of the equipment can uncover a rich set of information which reveals the way the equipment was operated, maintained, and eventually, ...

Any piece of equipment which has been in operation has a story to tell. The condition of the equipment can uncover a rich set of information which reveals the way the equipment was operated, maintained, and eventually, ...
API 682 Arrangement 2 Configurations - Considerations For Outer Seal And Support System Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
API 682, now in its 4th Edition, has made a concerted effort to accurately define and distinguish between different types of seal configurations available under the designation of ‘Arrangement 2’, including 2CW-CW, 2CW-CS, ...
Compression Packing: A Traditional Sealing Method Achieving High Levels Of Performance With Modern Technology
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
The oldest and still quite common sealing device for pumps is compression packing, so called because of the manner in which it performs the sealing function. This tutorial will explain the technology and also clarify some ...
Discussion Group P1/T1: Monitoring Vibration and Other Critical Machine Conditions
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Discussion Group 04: Lubrication
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2016)
Discussion Group P06: Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Mechanical seals are the most common method of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps and other rotary equipment. Although the basic concepts of a seal is simple, successfully using seals requires an understanding of the ...
The Measured Impact Of Erosion On The Rotodynamic And Performance Characteristics Of A Mixed Flow ESP
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
Three stages of a mixed flow electric submersible pump were subjected to 117 hours of erosion using a 2 gram/liter concentration ratio of 100 mesh hydraulic fracture sand to water. The sand passed through the pump one time ...
