    Positive displacement sliding vane pump wear analysis.

    Artisi- thanks for the reply. The magnitude of wear measured in the PEEK vanes is negligible after 100 hrs of testing. The performance is satisfactory for the pump at his point of time with plenty of margin. At some point with the wear increasing the pumps performance will start to degrade, I...

    Positive displacement sliding vane pump wear analysis.

    Hi all- I am currently working on the development of a positive displacement sliding vane pump. The vanes in the pump are made up of PEEK. As part of the development testing, we have performed endurance testing on the pump and wear on the pump was calculated (wear was calculated by measuring the...

    S-phase nitride coating on steel(S-143)

    The Temperature at which the nitriding was perfomed was at 420°C. the s-phase S-143 sample and the S-143 sample were mounted on a large impeller. after a thousands of hrs of testing the mass of the coupons were measured and found that the S-phase S-143 cavitated more than the ordinary s-143...

    S-phase nitride coating on steel(S-143)

    Hi All, I had recently performed S-phase nitride coating on S-143 precipation hardened steel to improve cavitation erosion properties of the material. however the the cavitation erosion property worsened after the s-phase nitride coating was performed, instead of improving it. I am confused...

    Flow control Valve Selection

    Hi all, I have been doing some calculation to select an air operated valve for one of the rigs i am working on. the pressure at the inlet of the valve is 44 psi. which is constant, however the outlet pressure needs to varied from 30 to 5 psi. this led me calculate the Fl required(the Fl...

    dead head pump

    how to calculate the output power of a dead head pump; since we donot have a flow at dead head condition and the head is maximum. I do have the input power which is close to 2.7KW. what considerations of the loss should i take(is it the impeller losses and the motor losses along with the LRP)...
