In outdoor pump installations, the effects of a hot climate and exposure to the sun should not be taken lightly.
Seals
Sealing solutions are critical to pumping to prevent leakage and, ultimately, failure. These are especially important in harsh conditions, whether from particulates, extreme temperature, or corrosive or heavily viscous fluid. The selection of the right seal can have as much impact on the system success as pump selection. These articles help with that selection and with the monitoring and maintaining of all types of seals.
Abrasive processing and wide temperature range are some of the pumping difficulties for high-performance liquid chromatography.
Lip and labyrinth seals provide protection in harsh oil and gas applications.
Inspect compression surfaces thoroughly to help ensure leak-free repairs.
Appropriate bearing selection and best-practice maintenance procedures can make a difference in pump reliability, service life and production.
Pete Petrunich retires as technical director after 17 years but leaves a legacy of education and high quality standards.
The construction, seals and protective monitoring contribute to the motor’s ability to operate in and under water.
This equipment eliminated a SAG copper mill gearbox’s maintenance issues resulting from contact lip seals that had a short and unreliable service life.
Conservation tools help save money, minimize maintenance and improve reliability.
