Advances In Mechanical Sealing - An Introduction To API 682 Second Edition
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The first edition of API 682 was the first broad-based standard covering the design and application of mechanical seals in centrifugal and rotary pumps. One of the main goals of this standard was to capture successful field ...
Numerical Simulation Of BPF Pressure Pulsation Field In Centrifugal Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
There is a close link between the pressure pulsation in the pump working cavity and its vibration and noise level. Due to a current trend in increasing rotation speed and power, the problem of noise, vibration, and pressure ...
Practical Use Of Rotordynamic Analysis To Correct A Vertical Long Shaft Pump's Whirl Problem
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The use of long shaft vertical pumps is common practice in the nuclear waste processing industry. Unfortunately, when such pumps employ plain cylindrical journal bearings, they tend to suffer from rotordynamic instability ...
Next Generation Pump Systems Enable New Opportunities For Asset Management And Economic Optimization
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
There is growing interest in cost-effective techniques that can detect the earliest stage of degradation or malfunction and predict machinery failure. New diagnostic and prognostic techniques may be effectively coupled ...
The Use Of Asbestos-Free Materials In Static Sealing On Pumps
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Asbestos-free gaskets have been used to seal flanged
connections on various applications. This paper discusses the use
of a different style of gasket and details the advantages and benefits
resulting from such a change. ...
Advisory Committee / International Pump User Symposium (19th : 2002)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Professional Staff / International Pump User Symposium (19th : 2002)
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Pumps And Their Systems - A Changing Industry
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
Toward Reduced Pump Operating Costs, Part 3 - Minimizing The Effects Of Wear And Optimizing Pump Efficiency
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
This tutorial will help the user to distinguish between premature failure and failure due to the normal wear-out process. Once the normal wear-out process has been identified, then what technologies can be used to minimize ...
Containment Seals For API 682 Second Edition
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2002)
The impending revision of API 682/ISO 21049 will include dry containment seals for the first time. These seals have been commercially available for over 15 years. This paper reviews the performance of these seals both in ...
