Vane Pass Vibration - Source, Assessment, And Correction - A Practical Guide For Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
With the ever-increasing use of hand held vibration analyzers, data collectors, and predictive maintenance programs, a more complete understanding of vibrations is ever more important. This tutorial treats one of the most ...
The New Hydraulic Institute Pump Intake Design Standard
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
A balanced committee of users, designers, researchers, and pump manufacturers has produced a revised Hydraulic Institute Pump Intake Design Standard that is considerably different from the existing standard and more ...
How To Extend The Life Of Your Boiler Feed Pump
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Six topics that should extend the life of a boiler feedpump will be described in detail. These topics will explore both operational and maintenance techniques that, when instituted, have been shown to extend the useful ...
How To Justify Machinery Improvements Using Reliability Engineering Principles
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
For the typical machinery engineer, the difficulties encountered with making reliability improvements lie not with the “mechanics” of improvements, but with justifying the cost of improvements. It is difficult to translate ...
Selection Of Lube Oil Systems Components For Process Pumps And Auxiliaries (External, Pressurized)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Lube oil systems are utilized in rotating process equipment to lubricate and cool hydrodynamic bearings. These systems are essential to the life and maintenance free operation of the process equipment. Dependable performance ...
Component Balance For Centrifugal Pumps - Effects Of Product Design, Balance Machine Tooling, And The Balancing Process On Balancing Repeatability
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1999)
Balancing of pump rotating components, especially impellers, is common practice. The purpose of this effort was to determine the proper design of pump components and balance arbors, create appropriate procedures, and ...
