Valves Outlook
Although overall industry growth is not substantial from 2017 to 2018, it translates to $66 MM more in valve shipments for the year, which is a positive sign for the industry.
Reliability
With certain turbocompressor designs having changed as manufacturers and user-clients constantly push to increase output and efficiency, it pays to know if—and how—high-performance couplings (HPCs) have kept pace.
Digital: Looking to boost safety? Reliable operations are the key
Equipment failures are the thorn in every industrial plant’s side.
Reliability: Consider today’s canned motor pumps
We often make the mistake of letting our equipment selection decisions be governed by old data, anecdotes and traditions.
Reliability: Preserve what worked well in 1980
The second CCC implementation strategy involved so-called “shirt sleeve seminars.”

High-energy pump balance line flow monitoring using ultrasonic flow measurements
The objective of this article is to demonstrate the value of utilizing portable or permanently mounted ultrasonic flow measurement technology to measure and monitor high-energy pump hydraulic balance line flow.
Preventing wire wooling journal bearing failure
This work details the operation of a 21,000-HP, five-stage barrel pump utilized for seawater injection service.
Upgrading the bottom of the barrel
In the past few decades, new technologies, including both carbon rejection methods and catalytic conversion methods, have emerged.
How the “LLF” condition monitoring technique can improve manufactured product profitability
Technological advances have allowed predictive maintenance (i.e., condition-based maintenance) to overtake preventive maintenance in plant operations. “Look, listen and feel (LLF)” is a condition monitoring technique that improves the reliability of equipment and machinery in manifolds.
