Dear CNYVI Members,
This is an announcement of the next CNYVI Chapter meeting on March 13th, 2013. If you plan on attending please RSVP as soon as possible. Thanks!
Topic:
Hydraulic Sources of Vibration in Centrifugal Pump Systems
Presenter:
Keith Menges, ITT Plant Performance Services
Date:
Wednesday, March 13, 2013.
Abstract:
The subject of hydraulic phenomena that occur in centrifugal pumps and their corresponding vibration characteristics will be presented. The operating principles of centrifugal pumps including performance curves and the relationship of operating point to vibration severity will be reviewed. The root causes of various hydraulic phenomena will then be shown by examining the behavior of the pumping system. Multiple case histories will be presented to illustrate the various phenomena and their origins. The objective of the presentation is to provide knowledge of the root causes and potential corrective actions for hydraulic induced vibration in centrifugal pumps. Questions from the audience regarding past or current pump vibration issues are encouraged.
