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.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
