Monitoring Repairs To Your Pumps
(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 ...
Centrifugal Pump Application - Key Hydraulic And Performance Criteria
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The essential elements to be reviewed when considering a centrifugal pump application are highlighted. The purpose is to ensure the procurement and/or application of a centrifugal pump which optimizes reliability, energy ...
The Effects Of Valve Dynamics On Reciprocating Pump Reliability
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Compared to leading edge technologies such as high speed turbomachinery, reciprocating pumps may appear to be a simple technology: A reciprocating plunger causes liquid to be drawn from a low pressure manifold through the ...
Diaphragm Development Trends For Safe Leak Free Reciprocating Process Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The application of diaphragm pumps for metering and conveying the fluids are continuously expanding because they provide zero-leakage, can run dry, have superior efficiency, offer high reliability, maximize safety and ...
The Road To Reliable Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
Centrifugal Pumps Inspection And Testing
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
The general requirements for inspection and testing of centrifugal pumps are presented. The successful completion of inspection and testing verifies pump design and specification compliance prior to release of pump for ...
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 ...
