    Bearing Clearance check By Using Plactic Gauge

    Greeting everyone. What happens if we use wrong class of plastic gauge. For example, the clearance given 0.175mm to 0.25mm, but we use different class of plastic gauge such as type c. Is the result from upper bearing housing compression will be different if use different plastic gauge? Sorry...

    BB2 Pump Mechanical Seal Installation

    Greeting everyone. Before do any mechanical seal installation, there are steps that need to be followed. One of the step is to check radial movement of shaft or shaft deflection. How are we gonna do this check on between bearing pump type?? is this step only applicable for overhung pump only...

    Mechanical Seal not leak After cleaning flushing line

    Greeting everyone. I have some question regarding the title. Before this, 1 of our pumps leak through mech seal. The leakage was really bad. The pump is over hung type spray tower recirculation pump by flowserve.So, someone try cleaning the flushing line thoroughly. After cleaning and test run...

    Thermal Growth Factor on Motor Side When Do Alignment

    Greeting everyone.. Before this, I've only known thermal growth on pump side or turbine side. Until recently someone from sulzer,their field service representative (fsr) come and told my friend (the one that deals with him) that we need to put thermal growth factor of motor side into account...

    Minimum Flow in pump

    Greeting everyone... There is a case where our pump running below minimum flow, but all parameters are in good condition. The vibrations are good, the temp and so the discharge pressure. My question is, do we need to increase the flow to above minimum flow or is okay if all parameters are...

    Idle Speed for Steam Turbine

    what will happen if we let steam turbine runs on idle speed too long? lets say the idle speed is 900rpm. Is there any abnormalities will occur on equipment? The steam Turbine is driving a compressor, centrifugal (over hung type)

    Mechanical Run Test

    I have 2 questions regarding mechanical run test (MRT) 1.) What is rated flow? Cause in pump data sheet, there are minimum flow, preferred flow, and operational flow. So which one is used in MRT? 2.) Lets say we have the flow that we want and we run test. If the flow drop below minimum flow...
