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 ...
TL02 - Introduction to SCC Failures in Steam Turbines and Solutions
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Mechanical drive steam Turbines play an important role in petro-chemical plants and these Turbines are protected for safe operation by number of monitoring as well as protection systems. However, a Turbine can suffer severe ...
CSP02 - Identifying the cause of a plunger pump shutdown data logging to the rescue
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
When a plunger pump shuts down unexpectedly, there can be many potential causes. This case study demonstrates how a multi-channel data logging system was used to diagnose a mysterious shutdown of a plunger pump driven by ...
CST08 - RCA report on governing valve seat failure for ERC Turbine
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Precise and stable steam flow control to the Turbine directly relates to improved steam turbine speed and load control and reduced system mechanical wear. This paper presents a complete failure of a Governing valve seat ...
CSP08 - Analysis and troubleshooting of a piston rod failure of RC
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Piston Rods are one of the most vulnerable components in reciprocating compressors and, if failing, one of the most important parts that can cause serious secondary damage. Based on an actual experience with a piston rod ...
CSP05 - Keyless taper fits with non-uniform section hubs
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
During an investigation of bore damage on a flexible coupling between a motor and pump, the hubs non uniform design came into question as a potential factor. The American National Standard Flexible couplings Keyless Fits ...
CSP13 - The Effects of a Water Plant Structural Foundation on Non-Clog Pump Vibration
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
TBD
P2 - Mechanical Seal Fundamentals
(Turbomachinery LaboratoryTexas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
This short course is designed for all personnel that interacts with mechanical seals such as engineers, users, installers, purchasers, reliability engineers, and other industrial plant functions. It starts with basic ...
TL10 - A Comparison of Type 1 Versus Type 2 Testing--Recent Experiences Testing a High-pressure, Re-injection Compressor
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
End users and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are faced with decisions regarding that type of performance testing they will require to demonstrate that centrifugal compressors will meet the agreed-upon requirements. ...
TL09 - Dynamics of Modular Rotors in High Speed Centrifugal Compressors: Design, Operational Performance and Field Serviceability
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, [2019])
Turbomachinery depends on optimal rotor-bearing systems for reliable operation. One type of rotor construction is the concept of modular rotors. While gas turbines have implemented this concept extensively, there has been ...
