Nivrah, that would depend completely on the application and bearing type and type of service. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

As you can see from the video the process is rather straight forward; I believe the velocity requirement is to prevent the posssibility of loss of cut out pieces. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8_1dWktcbU

First, I must say I agree with pumps only. But your seal face material is suitible for a dry run, just as the manufacture states. I think you will be fine. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

Question, what is the material of the seal face? Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

NPSH... Oversize pumps. Bad Idea. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

Here is some more info that may be of use. http://centrifugalpump.org/bulletinboard_02.html Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

Critical speed. At certian RPM's some equipment, well all equipment has the tendency to flex and stretch causing it to vibrate. In a rotating equipment run up, if you are using VFD's or some other method of governing speed, one needs to push through known critical speeds quickly. Do not rest...

Ask him what type of vibration he seems to be worring about, transmitted or inherent. In other words is he worried about vibration from background machinery at the facility or from the fluid/vapor flows themselves. It seems awful general this request of his. Spud says; Meticulous effort and...

Short question, long answer. Depending on the design of the pump is what determines the placement of the thrust bearing and type. Is it a 'balanced' pump? Does it pump hot fluids or nominal temp fluids? What types of pressures is the pump designed to generate? Thermal growth plays a huge...

We use Lubesite as well. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

Agreed. [pipe] Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

rmw, I agree completely, that falls under many strange things I have seen [pipe] Sometimes one really wonders what someone was or was not thinking. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

We use both methods here. Automated greasing devices come in many types and designs and can be used for very small amounts of grease, (1 gram) Up to very large systems. It really dependes on what you want to spend on them. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable...

We use butterfly valves all the time in plants and they control energy just fine, and you can get many with self locking mechanisms to facilitate a proper lock out tag out. I personally would like to hear your safety committee's logic behind their reasoning. The amount of space of a knife...

I recently left a facility that retired 3 1940's model GE 10MW units with Lynn standards. Great old units. Bullet proof and very dependable. The plant went on line in 48 and we shut her down in October of 2010. I have not seen a frame 3 in years and agree I do not think they are made...

This is very neat topic and very nice video. Thanks to all on this. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

Can't be done. Spud says; Meticulous effort and willingness to learn are honorable traits.

I went and looked at the pics in the other thread of yours, I would agree with gearcutter. I would also ask, is this an Amarillo gearbox?

Not enough information. As drawn I agree with caomhin1. With out more specifics on what type of cam and what it does all I can say is that from a mechanics standpoint, it is job security.

The tendency to overthink things is common amongst all of us. In my many years as a pump mechanic on all types of pumps there are some things I have learned. The same pump used in any setting be it heavy industry, commercial/municipal is the same pump. It may get treated very differently in...
