Thank you all for the great comments!
We are actually doing some lab testing and sending some pumps to the manufacturers for a more detailed analysis. The difficult part is that although the lab tests are done at realistic conditions, still we do them only at specific pressure and temperature...
Yes, the rotor is always removed.
A single number would not be useful. A 3D map would be perfect, but I am not sure how sophisticated the tool should be to to get the data for that.
It would be good to get >=12 measurements at every location of the stator (i.e. at 12 o'clock, at 1 o'clock, at 2...
Summary: Cost-effective ways to measure the swell of elastomers of submersible pumps after they are pulled from wells
Dear Physics Community!
I am working for an energy company and we are using progressive cavity pumps (PCPs) for producing water from our wells.
This is a youtube video...
Hi Everyone!
I am very happy to be here!
I am an engineer. I work for an energy company. I am trying to solve a few challenges at work, so I thought that I may need some help from the Physics community.
Cheers,
Alex
