Common failures & inspection points
Verify nameplate capacity (m³/h) and delivery head (m or bar) match datasheet specifications; confirm pump not operating beyond rated parameters
Inspect bore dimensions for corrosion, erosion, or cavitation damage; measure actual bore diameter to verify against specifications; check for debris or blockages
For motor-driven pumps: verify motor specs (kW, voltage, Hz) and test insulation resistance; for steam-driven: inspect steam supply lines, pressure regulators, and condensate return
Check for leakage around shaft seal; inspect seal material condition; verify proper lubrication (if mechanical seal); assess gland packing compression
Baseline vibration measurement; listen for abnormal cavitation or grinding sounds; check pump mounting bolts for looseness; verify alignment with driver
