The 4th Edition includes details on the revised product coding system, the seal system selection process and seal supply systems.
The improved design of some mag drive pumps make them an efficient and
low-maintenance alternative.
This technology is useful in applications where flow meter space is limited.
Visual management helps improve maintenance practices and remove human error from the lubrication process.
Manufacturers are developing a larger role in creating, driving and selling intelligent pump systems.
How do I get maximum performance from my packing?
The first step in troubleshooting involves examining the pump, the fluid and the system.
Full CFD analysis can improve the operation of high-maintenance pumps.
A booster pump equipped with an 800-horsepower, alternating-current motor and variable speed drive efficiently powers and controls a slurry pump.
Monitor and improve pump operation with simple-to-install instrumentation.
Improve performance in machines and plants.
3-D inverse design provides efficiency benefits.
By moving most polyphase motors to the Premium Efficiency level, a change could be achieved within two years of the enactment of the federal energy code (CFR10, part 431).
A systems approach to efficiency often reduces production costs.
Three design techniques can lower the operating temperature of hot running,
tilting-pad thrust bearings.
A new series of API 610 couplings are designed to be wear and maintenance free and reduce problems associated with stress concentration, backlash and micro-movements.
