Best Practices for Cartridge Mechanical Seal Installations
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
The reliability of a mechanical seal depends on more than the design of the seal itself. It also depends heavily on the practices used to install the mechanical seal into the centrifugal pump or other equipment. The actual ...
ANSI/ASA S2.75-2017/Part 1 Shaft Alignment Methodology, Part 1: General Principles, Methods, Practices, and Tolerances
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In 2010, the Vibration Institute sought to establish a certification for shaft
alignment technicians, similar to their certification for vibration technicians and analysts.
Various alignment tool vendors and industry ...

Mechanical Seals
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Mechanical seals are the most common method of sealing industrial centrifugal pumps
and other rotary equipment. Although the basic concepts of a seal is simple,
successfully using seals requires an understanding of the ...

Maximum Efficiency for High Head Process Pumps –Optimizing Side Channel Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Side channel pumps provide high pressure at relatively low flow rates. This comes along with a quite low specific speed and thus with the known disadvantage of a quite poor maximum efficiency.
This paper describes the ...
Crude Oil Non-Pusher Secondary Seal
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
Crude oil pipeline pumps traditionally suffer from seal leakage due to the fretting or wearing of the dynamic O-ring. A new concept secondary seal has been developed to eliminate this fretting occurrence. All major seal ...
Cooling Water Pump Station Optimization Using CFD and Physical Model Test
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2018)
In this paper, a combined study between Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a model test has been carried on a Cooling Water Pumping Station as part of a new power plant. The aim of this work was to validate a water pit ...
