Educational session during TPS 2015
During the Pump Symposia, discussion groups will be conducted on vertical pump problems and solutions; pipeline applications, mechanical seals; centrifugal pump operation, maintenance and reliability; improving meantime between pump failures; subsea pumps and drivers; lubrication; vibration monitoring; and other critical machine conditions. Tutorials will cover design characteristics of mechanical seals in pipeline applications, highlights of the draft API 610 12th Edition, pulsation analysis in positive displacement pumps systems, maintenance philosophy, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Conservation Standard for pumps.
The events are organized by the Turbomachinery Laboratory, part of the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and the Texas A&M University System. The Advisory Committee chairman is Dr. Dara Childs, Turbomachinery Laboratory director. For more information or to register, visit pumpturbo.tamu.edu.
