And What Of The Future?
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Diamond Like Carbon Coatings - Tribological Possibilities And Limitations In Applications On Sintered Silicon Carbide Bearing And Seal Faces
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1997)
Promising new developments to master friction and wear under fry run conditions are diamond like carbon coatings. They offer high hardness and wear resistance, combined with a low coefficient of friction. Best coating ...
A Name Well Chosen
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
A User's View Of Sealless Pumps - Their Economics, Reliability, And The Environment
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Numerous surveys have shown that the shaft seal is the dominate root cause of failure for the chemical process pump. These component failures are attributed with the lion’s share of the pump maintenance cost. Moreover, ...
Root Cause Analysis Of Five Costly Centrifugal Pump Failures
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1990)
Machinery failure analysis and troubleshooting are often pursued in a somewhat haphazard, unstructured fashion. This paper presents a novel, proven, and well focused approach which can quickly lead to the root cause ...
Vibration Assessment Of Variable Speed Vertically Mounted Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1989)
Analytical and experimental assessments of the vibration characteristics are described for two 700 hp, vertically mounted centrifugal service water pumps following their conversion from fixed speed to variable speed ...
An Open Letter To The Pump Industry
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Every industrial process which underlies our modern civilization involves the transfer of liquids from one level of pressure or static energy to another level, and, as a result, pumps have become an essential part of all ...
Solutions To Abrasive Wear-Related Rotordynamic Instability Problems On Prudhoe Bay Injection Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Prudhoe Bay produced water injection pumps suffered serious vibration problems and high balance piston leakage a few months after initial startup. Even though initial pump orientation at low water rates was satisfactory, ...
Vertical Diffuser Type Turbine, Mixed-Flow, And Axial-Flow Propeller Pumps - A Brief Overview
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Vertical diffuser type pumps, their applications, advantages, disadvantages, multistaging, manufacturing, material selection, construction possibilities, operation, and repair are reviewed. Also discussed are semi-open and ...
User Experience With Portable Data Terminals In A Machinery Monitoring Program
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
A description is presented from a user’s viewpoint, of a vibration monitoring program using a portable data terminal (PDT) system. A brief description of these systems is given, followed by an explanation of what they can ...
