Vibration: Resonance Prediction, Prevention and Field Analysis

Flowserve’s experts will discuss the potential issues associated with a resonance condition and Flowserve’s holistic approach to preventing such a condition with respect to the operational requirements for the application. Frequency prediction is key to preventing resonance, and this presentation will focus on the important aspects of predicting the structural and rotor lateral frequencies along with rotor torsional frequencies.

Flowserve’s experts will also discuss the capabilities of its Solutions Engineering Team and the process used for validating that the installed system is acceptable for commissioning and long-term operation. Testing prior to shipment and validation testing in the field are key to ensuring successful operation. The presentation will focus on the testing requirements of VS, OH and BB pump types emphasizing the Flowserve Field Service team’s abilities and available services to ensure all installations and field repairs meet the user specification requirements and appropriate vibration standards.
