Greene Tweed Highlights Dry-Run-Resistant Pump Wear Part Solution at Turbomachinery & Pumps Symposium 2019
Leading High-Performance Seals, Fiber Optic and Electrical Connectors to Be Showcased
Kulpsville, PA - Greene Tweed, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance seals, thermoplastics, composites, and engineered components, announces it will showcase its dry-run-resistant wear part solution and capabilities in large seal manufacturing at the Turbomachinery & Pumps Symposium 2019, held September 10th - 12th at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX at Booth 3136.
Greene Tweed's WR®650 delivers high chemical compatibility, excellent wear characteristics, and operability from subzero to 500°F (260°C). The advanced material with 3D carbon-fiber architecture, provides a coefficient of thermal expansion comparable to steel over a wide range of temperatures, offering a constant running clearance, no interference, and no efficiency drop.
The WR®650 solution may be applied as stationary wear parts in vertical, horizontal, single, and multistage centrifugal pumps. Greene Tweed products can be used to improve the reliability and efficiency in refineries, chemical plants, power plants, pipelines, and water treatment plants. WR®650 is available in a broad range of stock shapes, ranging from ID1" to OD12."
Greene Tweed will also display its capabilities in large seal manufacturing including the G-T® Ring, a unique seal configuration for centrifugal compressors that enhances resistance to rapid gas decompression (RGD) at higher pressure compared to traditional elastomeric O-rings.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
