PT02 - Methods to Determine and Specify Pump Dynamic Analysis
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Vibration caused by resonance is an industry problem for new and retrofit applications that persists due to lack of specification and upfront analysis. To limit the chances of resonant vibration, dynamic analysis of the ...
PT04 - Improving The Use of Plant Operators
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Every plant has operators. They may be an untapped resource to improve reliability at a marginally low cost. The operators believe its his job is to make good product, do it safely, and prevent environmental excursions. ...
PL06 - Investigation on the influence of an inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by centrifugal pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This study explains the influence of an upstream inducer on the transport of single and two-phase air-water flows by a centrifugal pump. The inducer has generally a slight influence on single-phase flow. For two-phase ...
PL07 - Sand Management and Erosion Prediction in Subsea Multiphase Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Over the past ten years, subsea multiphase pumping has accomplished extraordinary technology breakthroughs. The drivers are the oil and gas companies requirements for deeper and more remote subsea production satellites ...
PL04 - Understanding the Effects of Selecting a Pump Performance Test Acceptance Grades
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
There are good reasons for requiring the tightest test acceptance tolerances. That is why they are listed in industry accepted pump testing standards, ANSI/HI 14.6, ANSI/HI 11.6 and ISO 9906. There are also applications ...
PT09 - Submersible pump condition monitoring using motor current signature analyses and vibration analyses comparison
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
The paper further shows the real case studies, analyses and findings on Submersible Pumps. The article contrasts the similarities vs. differences and advantages vs. disadvantages of both methods and may be of value for ...
PT05 - Predicting Centrifugal Pump Type and NPSH in Early Facility Design
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This tutorial focuses on centrifugal pumps, which are generally the workhorse of industrial oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities, and the tutorial approaches an early assessment concept in several parts. First, it examines ...
PT07 - Application Considerations for Mechanical Seals in Variable Speed Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Variable speed pumps are being used more frequently to improve the efficiency and operational flexibility of centrifugal pumps. Operating pumps over a range of speeds can allow the end user to tailor the pump output in ...
PL09 - Study of pulsation dampener designs for plunger pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Pressure pulsations from reciprocating pumps can generate high shaking forces that put the pump systems at risk of vibration and fatigue failures. Pressure pulsations can also cause cavitation in the pump suction system ...
PT01 - Considerations in Piping Plan 53B Applications
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
