Pump Rerates - When And How
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
During the life of a plant, there often arises a need to change a pump’s rating to match a new plant operating condition or raise the mean time between repair (MTBR) of an unreliable pump. In these cases, rerating the pump ...
Best Practices In Selecting And Applying Positive Displacement Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)
Selecting a positive displacement pump is many times a confusing process. Unlike centrifugal pumps were pumping technology is familiar, positive displacement pumps operate differently than centrifugal and there is a wide ...
