SwRI will be exhibiting at the GMRC Gas Machinery Conference, booth no. 821.
Please join us for the following presentations:
Monday, Oct. 7
8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.
“An Introduction to Torsional Rotordynamics,” Justin Hollingsworth and Chris Kulhanek
This mini short course will provide a brief overview of the torsional rotordynamics process, including mass elastic model preparation, critical speed and mode shape predictions, interference diagrams, shaft stress predictions, transient torsional calculations, and field-testing considerations.
Tuesday, Oct. 8
8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
“Advanced Topics in Acoustics and Vibrations,” Benjamin White, Buddy Broerman, Sarah Simons
This short course will cover advanced topics in pulsations and acoustics in piping systems. Topics in this short course include equations of state, CO2, hydrogen blending, pulsation bottle design, valve noise and vibration problems; high frequency pulsation and vibrations from blade pass excitation, valves or instrumentation in centrifugal compressor systems; alternate methods of pulsation control for high pressure systems, advanced pulsation attenuation devices, pump pulsation mitigation, mixed compression, screw piles, and the impact of changing gas compositions for reverse direction flow on pulsations and horsepower requirements.
Wednesday, Oct. 9
2:45 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.
“New Release: API 688 Pulsation and Vibration Control for Positive Displacement Machinery, 2nd Edition,” Benjamin White, et al.
In October 2023, the second edition of API 688 was published. This course is designed for operators and engineers who are involved in specifying and overseeing positive displacement machinery. This mini short course offers an overview and contextual understanding of the API 688 requirements, with the primary goal of mitigating pulsation and vibration-related issues.
