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. ...
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 ...

PT08 - Midstream Pipeline Applications � Design Aspects and Considerations for Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
There are few applications that place a significant demand on mechanical seals such as those associated with the handling of various fluids through pipelines. Pipeline applications are unique in that they typically encompass ...
PT06 - Transforming Condition Monitoring into effective Condition Based Maintenance
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
It is clearly understood by most Maintenance and Reliability professionals that a Condition Monitoring program should identify faults ahead of failures, allowing time for scheduling of remedial works and the management of ...
PT03 - Understanding Waterhammer in Pupmping Systems and Surge Supression Options
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Waterhammer in pumping systems is an area of frequent concern to designers and operators. Waterhammer has the potential to cause catastrophic failures if not properly addressed. System designers have multiple options to ...
PT10 - Precision Grouting of Turbomachinery
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Rotating equipment being installed in industrial environments, including refineries and chemical processing plants, are critically aligned with exact tolerances. When in operation, this equipment experiences heavy dynamic ...
