Chesterton will be featuring the 4400 Dual Concentric Gas Seal. Designed for ANSI/API pumps, mixers, compressors, and blowers, The 4400 Gas Seal provides zero fugitive emissions sealing with minimal barrier gas consumption. Due to the efficiencies of the dual concentric design and the In-Gland Control System, only a fraction of the overall gas consumed is introduced to the process. The remainder of the gas introduced to the seal is transferred to the atmosphere after performing the critical function of face separation.
Chesterton 442 Split Seal features a factory split design ideal for equipment that is difficult and time-consuming to disassemble, such as large vertical and horizontal split-case pumps. The seal is assembled without adhesives, allowing for easy installation. The 442 Split Seal can be maintained in the field with low-cost repair kits, which reduce ongoing maintenance costs. The compact design of the 442 Split Seal can be used in a wide variety of equipment and process fluids.
Chesterton DualPac 2212 is a high-performance, non-staining, multipurpose braided packing that requires fewer gland adjustments than traditional packing. The packing’s shaft side is made from highly resilient fiber that is burn-resistant and long-lasting, which minimizes shaft scoring. DualPac 2212 can be used in the following applications: ore slurries, mineral handling slurries, dewatering, stock, sludge, slurry and process pumps, agitators, and mixers.
SpiralTrac Environmental Controller throat bushing
The SpiralTrac Environmental Controller is a throat bushing engineered to transform and control the internal stuffing box environment in rotating process equipment to reduce downtime and extend equipment life. SpiralTrac enables particulates to be removed from the stuffing box and away from packing or mechanical seals and permits air to evacuate the stuffing box upon flooding to retain cooling. Heat buildup is minimized in the stuffing box creating circulation around seal faces. SpiralTrac is offered in four configurations: split, adapter, standard, and packing.
The Chesterton Connect Equipment Monitoring System monitors and analyzes equipment health 24/7. The Connect sensors and gateway automatically collect and transfer the equipment operating conditions in near real-time to the Chesterton Connect Cloud dashboard, simplifying remote monitoring of equipment to help improve operations.
ARC Industrial Coatings provide long-term protection to systems and equipment exposed to erosion, corrosion, and chemical attack. ARC coatings are ceramic-reinforced and abrasion-resistant and can handle 100% solids and high-temperature.

Velo3D—Booth 1419
At this year’s TPS Conference, Velo3D will be displaying some new turbomachinery parts, including an entire turbopump that was designed by two students from Colorado University Boulder’s Aerospace Engineering Sciences program. The turbopump is more than 95 percent 3D printed—everything except the shaft, spacers, and bolts were 3D printed on a single build using a Sapphire XC. The display is a good example of how metal 3D printing can democratize the design and manufacture of turbomachinery parts, as even two students can have their designs manufactured, finished, and tested.
This rocket turbopump was printed in Inconel (IN718), a precipitation-hardenable nickel-based superalloy known for its superb tensile strength when subjected to extreme pressure and heat.
Sid Raje on the Velo3D team will also be presenting on the functional benefits of additively manufactured turbomachinery impellers. Sid works closely with Velo3D’s customers in the turbomachinery industry to help them with the designs and build of their inducers, impellers, volutes, and other turbomachinery parts. He’ll be discussing how 3D printing can help produce more performant designs, streamline supply chains, shorten lead times, and in some cases even lower production costs compared to conventional manufacturing.
In addition to the turbopump (pictured), Velo3D’s booth will also have a number of turbomachinery parts on display, including a shrouded impeller produced on its Sapphire XC printer, which is capable of printing parts up to 600 mm in diameter.
