King Professional Engineering, Inc.

Compressors, Pumps, Valves

King Professional Engineering, Inc., conducts forensic investigations and failure analysis for cases involving a broad range of compressors, pumps, and valves—from small to large.


Some example cases include:

•Reciprocating pump failures.

•Hydraulic (piston, vane, & gear) pump failures.

•Centrifugal pump failures.

•Reciprocating compressor failures

•Centrifugal compressor failures.

•Compressor (centrifugal & reciprocating) fires.

•Screw compressor failures.

•Hand-pump failure (cosmetic bottle).

•Re-fueling nozzle failure.

•Propane valve failures.

•Large control valve failures.

•Pipeline plug valve failures.

•Industrial & oilfield ball valve failures (fatalities).

•Residential & commercial valve failures & leaks.

•3 patents for pumps and valves.

Pumps, valves, and compressors come in a large array of sizes, capabilities, and uses—from small medical device pumps, to a mobile hydraulic pump, to a large high-pressure oilfield pump mounted on a semi-trailer. While the applications and sizes may be vastly different, they all share mechanical engineering principles and have many common engineering design elements.
