    Plunger Pump Inlet Size

    Dear All, Happy New Year. I am installing a small plunger pump (CAT 230 with variable speed drive) to pump water at low flowrates into a pressurised steam line in our R&D test facilities. Reading the installation manual it states that the inlet line size must be a minimum of one size larger...

    Bypass flow control

    Hi Folks, In our R&D test facilities we require water at very low flowrates (10 - 300 kg/h) and high pressure (50barg) for a series of experiments. We plan to use a CAT piston pump with VSD. However we still cannot achieve the lowest flowates (10kg/h). Therefore to achieve the lowest flows I...

    What shall I do with a 50bar water discharge?

    Hi Folks, As part of our test set-up we require very low water flowrates at reasonably high pressures. The spec is water from 5 to 200 litres/hr at pressures up to 50barg. I've looked at 100's of pumps in order to achieve this and have settled for a piston pump with variable speed drive...

    PD Pump to Heat Exchanger, where should Relief valve go?

    Greetings, I'm designing a test rig for our R&D test facilities. Part of the rig requires water at 40barg close to saturation point. Therefore we have a PD pump raising mains water to 50barg going through a heat exchanger (rated to 60barg) which uses steam as the heating medium. Max flowrate...

    Rotating Shoe Valves for Steam

    Good Day to everyone, After hours trawling the net this is my last hope. Basically I'm looking for a rotating shoe valve that can be used on steam. I want to divert a steam supply between 2 lines, therefore I'll need a 3 port diverting valve. To make things even more complicated I would like...

    Any AGA Report No. 8 users?

    Hello, My company are thinking of purchasing AGA Report No. 8 with the hope that it contains equations to find the density of any gas. Part of our business is the design of flowmeters (that are mainly used on steam). I know the AGA report is concerned with natural gas, but I would like to know...
