An often overlooked use for precision shaft alignment tools is to utilize them as part of a preventative maintenance (PM) program. Performing alignment testing regularly on critical machines can help […]
This paper highlights the main Elastomer Failure Modes and suggested corrective actions. •Compression Set •Pressure Extrusion •Rapid Gas Decompression •Thermal Extrusion/Thermal Expansion •Thermal Degradation •Low Temperature Effects •Chemical Degradation •Volume Swell […]
One drip per minute amounts to about a liter (quart) of water in 3 days. It that’s a leak rate for an O-ring on a submersible pump, that’s a big […]
CB&I utilizes General Rubber’s in-line pressure balanced and other conventional rubber expansion joint designs for their EPC contracts at VC Summer and Plant Vogtle Nuclear Generating Stations. General Rubber Corporation (GRC) understands […]
This white paper will illustrate how an integrated wastewater-treatment system, with many different types of equipment working hand-in-hand—specifically metering and peristaltic (hose) pumps, and polymer makedown systems—can be used in […]
With a history of engineering innovation, NETZSCH rethought the current state of rotary lobe pump design and pushed it into a new paradigm that challenged conventional wisdom. Download this paper […]
This is a paper presented at The American Power Conference. It is a good reference for understanding the incredible performance improvements that can be achieved when advanced materials and technologies […]
We are proud of an environmental award we earned from the Fluid Sealing Association and Chemical Engineering magazine for submitting the linked case study on this project. Similarly, supplying original equipment into […]
Advanced materials and innovative technology has transformed a common product into something extraordinary, further raising industry standards. This article was written by Jane Alexander and first appeared in Maintenance Technology. […]
Centrifugal Pumps are often employed in pumping processed aerobically digested sludge at Waste Water Treatment Plants. The problem is that hair and other stringy materials get caught in the Pump […]
The sealing environment for down-hole pumps, compressors, valves and pipelines represents some of the most aggressive conditions to which elastomer seals are exposed. Temperatures may range from -50°C to 250°C and […]
