    keyway vs spline

    I would recommend a shrink fit without a key as we use succesfully since 5 years or so for the coupling hub on the drive shaft of reciprocating pumps (max. 1500 kW at about 50-60 rpm). Shaft is straight cylindrical, no key(s), no spline. Mounting is easy (just heat, usually about 240°C) and for...

    Non sparking belt guard

    Hello, Brass and bronze are suitable no-sparking materials, so I would recommend brass, since this is readily available as sheet metal. Also it has the advantage above polymers that it can handle better external load when you chose sufficient wall thickness, depending upon the size of the guard...

    Pressure Testing of Pumps

    Hello Mechmos, I'm working on the eng.dep. of a slurry pump manufacturer, we also make triplex pumps, however "only" upto 250 bar. Early next week I will see if we have the mentioned standards. I believe we use Hydraulic Institute standards. Nowadays we don't do much of hydro-testing anymore...
