Just a crazy old Structural that likes to break things - and fix them.If we believe all the oil advertising and engine mfgs, they say the worst engine wear happens during the first few seconds of star

I am trying to find a pump that can pump Jet A fuel that is at -55 to -60 degrees C. The pump itself will be outside the envirnmental chamber. Flow rate 500 to 3000mL/min. Jet A fuel has a Kinematic V

I'll agree with hydtools.Or the pump was not actually running. The size of the spill may be an indication. The lost volume of a suction line spill may be equal to the volume of a few feet of suction

It's kind of beating a dead horse Both Hooper's 2-k method and Darby's 3-k method account for minor loss sensitivity to Reynolds number and scale effect.For minor losses we can write:h = Kf*V^2/2Being

I have written about this many times in some of my previous posts about what the problem is. A few years ago, I had an 80 ton cooling tower, which was manufactured by Baltimore Air Coil (BAC), instal

There is a requirement in API 610 for Centrifugal Pumps (Cl. no. 7.3.2.3) that the water quality to be used for Hydrostatic testing pumps with austenitic stainless steel materials shall not exceed 50

Depends on shape of the power curve and the spec requirements.Motor must be sized for end of curve. Say that is 399hp so you buy a 400hp motor. Your operating point requires 300hp. Shutoff requires 20

What kind of pump? Is it a between bearing (where packing would be located in suction region) as opposed to a vertical pump (where packing would be located in discharge region.)Probably the former bas
