    Seal Plans Number & other permutations

    In reply to all who have posted, Two well known industry suppliers have suggested Seal Plans & pump materials which are suitable for the application. The seal plans offered were Burgman 11+52+61. Thankyou for all the help & advice

    Seal Plans Number & other permutations

    Dubmac, You appear to not have read or understood the thread. The customer has specified the seal plan (this is a very large petrochemical company), so they know what they are doing. I am not guessing/googling a seal solution. What I was looking for was a comparison of API 682 seal plans...

    Seal Plans Number & other permutations

    I have become involved in a project where a client needs API pump & 682 seal plans. They have specified 1CW-FX as the preferred plan. I am relatively new to the pump seal plan world, so apologise if this appears to be a trivial question How does this relate to the numbering system Eg Plan 11+52...

    ISO Chemical Pump Recommendation for some chemical

    ISO 5199 will cover you, but I think you have to be careful in selection with methanol, ensure that all the wet components are methanolsafe Try Dickow Pumpen http://portal.dickow.de/

    Inhibited Monoethylene glycol

    bchoate: Thanks for the reply. I have heard that by diluting the sample of the solution with water that a more reliable pH reading can be obtained, as I am not a Chemical Engineer I have no idea if this is infact true. However, is there some other method that could be used to detect the...

    Inhibited Monoethylene glycol

    Does anyone have any experience of measuring the pH of a water glycol solution (90% by wt glycol) at 40 Degree C. When using litmus paper I tend to get a reading 1,5 to 2 points lower than using a pH electrode. One more question, is MEG stable when in contact with standard motor gas or will it...

    S7 315 DP & Profibus problems

    After consulting with quite a few people what we have done is turned off the harware error reporting at the remote I/O station (Stahl harware) & put a trend in the WinCC system to see which error number the profibus/S7 reports from OB1. we will then use this error number to go to the next step...

    Burning of low cal waste gas

    Flare companies are Zeeco, John Zink, Callidus Membrane systems: Borsig or UOP You will find it difficult to separate the methane out cheaply. The bet solution is possibly a membrane system plus a compression unit. The membrane would get rid of the CO2 (or most of it) & give you an amount of...
