COMPONENT BALANCE FOR CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS-EFFECTS OF PRODUCT DESIGN, BALANCE MACHINE TOOLING, AND THE BALANCING PROCESS ON BALANCING REPEATABILITY

摘要

Balancing of pump rotating components, especially impellers, is common practice. The purpose of this effort was to determine the proper design of pump components and balance arbors, create appropriate procedures, and establish their validity through repeatability and reproducibility studies. Examples of tests and recommendations for users are included.
