High-pressure water pump mechanical seal failure investigation
To mitigate leakage, mechanical seals are one of the most critical components for centrifugal pumps.
Valves Outlook
Although overall industry growth is not substantial from 2017 to 2018, it translates to $66 MM more in valve shipments for the year, which is a positive sign for the industry.
Reliability
With certain turbocompressor designs having changed as manufacturers and user-clients constantly push to increase output and efficiency, it pays to know if—and how—high-performance couplings (HPCs) have kept pace.
Digital: Looking to boost safety? Reliable operations are the key
Equipment failures are the thorn in every industrial plant’s side.
Reliability: Consider today’s canned motor pumps
We often make the mistake of letting our equipment selection decisions be governed by old data, anecdotes and traditions.
