 As oil prices continue to fluctuate, experts are putting forth various predictions about the industry’s future. Diverse factors — ranging from international economic relations with China and the Middle East to uncontrollable disasters like Hurricane Matthew — impact the price of oil and therefore have implications for everyone involved in the industry.

Triangle Pump Components, Inc. (TPCI) contracted Flowserve, a pump manufacturer, to compare pump valve performance using Flowserve’s proprietary PUMP-ALL software program. PUMP-ALL is a proven reciprocal plunger pump simulation program capable of predicting pump and valve performance under a variety of operating conditions, such as suction pressure, discharge pressure, and pump speed.

When problems with your pumping system occur you want them solved fast. Every second your system is not funcioning at peak capacity your business is losing money and if the problem continues to get worse, it could result in a complete shut down of the system. How much money would you lose if you had to shut down your pumping system for 1 day? or 1 month? Could you stay in business? Would you need to lay off employees or shut down your business?
