Improvement on Mechanical Power Transmitter to Meet the API 610 and API 671 Standards in the Petrol Industry
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The Petroleum Industry is one of the largest and broadest entrepreneurs of the world, and it grows each year, with new technologies and new innovation perspectives. The hydrocarbon exploration is a risk-filled activity, requiring dangerous tasks involving very high pressures and the manipulation of gigantic amounts of gas. Therefore, all equipment need to meet security standards. This paper was based on improving a machine component to meet the requirements on the API 610/671 Standards. The coupling used in the past could cause sparking, creating dangerous explosions, and if there were severe vibrations, their blades could come loose, becoming a danger for operators In order to meet the API 610/671 Standards, a change was made to the coupling design, where a study was carried out to select a new material with more adequate mechanical characteristics for the work, phosphatizing thermal treatment and salt spray tests to analyze the material life time.
