How well do you know your Pump?

 

How well do you know your Pump?

 

  • Do your pumps require constant servicing?
  • Are your pumps failing prematurely?
  • Do you think it is normal that malfunctions happened simply because of component defects?
Why Pumps Fail?

Premature pump failure is not cause solely by defective components but can also be attributed to human intervention such as poor maintenance strategies, inappropriate design and operational practices.
 
Inappropriate Design and Operation Poor Maintenance Strategies

Pump Performance Curve is a common diagram used within the pump technicians. However, when poor design and operation causes it work outside of the curve, it may result in mechanically unstable conditions. This includes:                             

  • High vibration levels
  • Excessive hydraulic thrust
  • Increased temperature
  • Erosion and cavitation due to starvation or recirculation

     

It is a common practice for most pump technicians to develop their knowledge based on experiences and apprenticeship. While it is commendable, this may result in issues such as:                                             

  • Unstandardized practices and misconceptions
  • Limited knowledge in wider issues concerning pump maintenance
  • Failure in performing a pump failure analysis to identify underlying issues
