Systems Mounting Guidelines for Separable Reciprocating Compressors in Pipeline Service
GMRC's objective was to develop a consensus best-practice guideline for the installation of pipeline reciprocating equipment. The intent is to ensure installations that are free from damaging vibrations, operate reliably with acceptable alignment over the long term and present the owner with affordable life cycle costs. The need for these guidelines was driven by a number of problem installations. The GMRC recognized that it was desirable for all segments of the industry to learn from such problems and to minimize or avoid them in the future. Click here to download the order form.
