Common failures & inspection points

●Mechanical wear caused by inadequate lubrication, contamination or long service, resulting in rising vibration, noise or temperature
●Seal or gasket deterioration caused by wear, corrosion or misalignment, resulting in visible leakage or loss of process containment
●Flow restriction, cavitation or fouling caused by blocked passages or unsuitable operating conditions, resulting in reduced capacity and unstable performance
●Motor, coupling or drive failure caused by electrical faults, misalignment or overload, resulting in trips, abnormal current or inability to reach normal speed
●Sensor, control or protection failure caused by wiring, calibration or electronics faults, resulting in alarms, incorrect control response or shutdown

Service & Maintenance

Inspect bearings, lubrication, seals, couplings, foundations, process connections and protective devices. Trend vibration, temperature, pressure, flow and motor load where available and investigate deterioration from the established normal condition. Check for leakage, corrosion, fouling and abnormal mechanical contact. Function-test local and remote controls, alarms and shutdowns after maintenance. Maintain cleanliness during opening and reassembly. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for clearances, limits, settings and overhaul criteria.
