Material validation is a critical step when designing a high-performance expansion joint. Therefore, it is important to know what is on the inside of the expansion joint and not just the outside. There are numerous issues that could arise from improper material selection and layering construction that will ultimately affect the life and performance of the expansion joint. Read on to learn the potential benefits of investing in high-performance expansion joints.
Over years of use in the motor industry, the term "inverter duty" for motor ratings has become watered down. Whenever someone refers to an inverter duty motor, they are usually referring to a higher insulation class for the windings. Read on to learn how to determine if your motor meets the standard.
Alignment is an essential element in the proper function of rotating equipment assembly. When there is misalignment in a system, many problems can occur that impact efficient operation and production throughout. What may start as a vibration may amplify into catastrophic failure, as one problem cascades into another. Read on to learn how proper procedures now can prevent problems later.
Learn how Duke Energy Brunswick enabled bearing survival in low flow bearing flush conditions on their Flowserve Circulating Water Intake Pumps (CWIP) working in seawater to over 15 minutes (up from two minutes earlier) by upgrading to Greene Tweed's AR-HT bearings.
Additionally, in operation the pump vibration levels are consistently low, and testing proved that the AR-HT bearings can resist wear and maintain clearances far greater than the incumbent material.
