Analysis on Shaft Failure of the Twin Screw Pump

Article Preview

Abstract:

Screw pump as kind of displacement pump is suitable for transporting high-viscosity crude oil in a stable operation and high working efficiency. But over the past few years, one oil company has suffered from more screw pump failures which greatly impacted the normal crude oil pipeline delivery operation. Through a deep investigation into two times of shaft rupture incidents, the present paper performs a root cause analysis and provides the corresponding countermeasures.
