Most industrial centrifugal pumps carry a high capital equipment value. So when they fail, it’s a significant problem. Fortunately, many pump problems are easy to correct – and even prevent – with an effective maintenance program. You can learn more about maintaining and improving the performance of your pumps with our Pumps Resources.

Pump Failure Causes

There are many reasons for pump failure, but some of the most common are:

 

Misalignment

Loosening of pump base mounting bolts results in vibration that can cause bearing failure

Leaks

Gaps and surface irregularities in threaded pump assemblies and flanges can lead to leaks that diminish pump performance.

Wear

Damage to surfaces & common parts due to abrasion, erosion or chemical attack.

Pump Maintenance is Key

With their high cost to maintain - and even higher cost for failure - a good pump maintenance plan is key to:

  • Extend useful pump life
  • Maintaining pump efficiency
  • Improving pump reliability
