Description/Abstract:
A PUMP EQUIPPED WITH PILE GRAPHITE SHAFT AND FLUID PISTON BEARING WAS OPERATED FOR ABOUT 1900 HOURS WITHOUT EXCESSIVE WEAR WHILE PUMPING WATER. UNDER IDENTICAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, SS AND CHROME-PLATED SS SHAFTS WERE WORN SEVERELY IN 2550 AND 978 HOURS, RESPECTIVELY. RESULTS OBTAINED WITH A POLYPENCO K-51 SHAFT DURING AN 800 HOUR TEST APPEAR PROMISING ALTHOUGH THE WEAR RESISTANCE OF THIS MATERIAL IS NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS THAT OF PILE GRAPHITE.
