You hear about it everywhere – design optimization. The world requires more and more efficient and reduced emissions products, as with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Engine Testing Regulations and European Commission Ecodesign […]
Concerns regarding the amount of energy that is consumed – and potentially wasted – by industrial facilities in the United States officially reached the highest levels of the federal government on Aug. 30, […]
Pump engineers have a wide range of sealing options available to them which cater for the diversity of pump applications. In designing pumps and other associated equipment like compressors and […]
Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) is pleased to present technical data on measuring the Sour Gas resistance of their range of high performance EnDura and Perlast elastomers.
Most centrifugal pumps today have mechanical seals. However, those pump that still use packing glands instead of mechanical seals require frequent maintenance and are more likely to show up in […]
Aggressive pumping environments can be problematic for pump engineers. On the one hand it’s impossible to design the pump to be resistant to every kind of chemical, while on the […]
On rotating machinery, runout is defined as the degree to which a shaft or coupling deviates from true circular rotation. Every shaft or coupling has a center or rotation, or […]
When it comes to expensive rotating machinery, there is often a need to identify a problem before it occurs, as catastrophic failures are often orders of magnitude more costly than […]
The North American pump market for sanitary applications is growing along with its food and beverage, personal care, and pharmaceutical end-user segments. Adoption of advanced pump systems in the region […]
The ongoing pace of product innovation requires manufacturers of soap and detergents to be versatile enough to not only efficiently produce their current products, but also the “next big thing” […]
As the most effective method for optimizing energy efficiency in paint and coatings operations is debated worldwide, manufacturers must find ways to respond to this challenge. Manufacturers in the closely […]
