Hello guys,

Long time I'm not visiting this site

This time I would like to know about running clearances between rotating and stationary parts. Is anyone here can show or have an experience when define running clearances on wear ring/ bushing? Now I have trouble with this topic, pump experiencing jammed when the first time get in touch with the main fluid (temp -100degC). The fluid is ethylene.

Thank you for the opinion. Please teach me.
