Common failures & inspection points
Visual inspection of impeller; listen for distinctive 'gravel rattling' noise during operation; verify NPSH Available exceeds NPSH Required by minimum 10%; check suction strainer cleanliness and inlet pressure
Observe gland drip rate (should be steady drip, not continuous flow on packed pumps); sample oil from oil chamber—milky discoloration indicates water intrusion; inspect for weeping at seal housing
Establish vibration baseline; measure at bearing housings (horizontal, vertical, axial axes); alert threshold is 25% increase from baseline; monitor bearing temperature; check lubrication per manufacturer schedule; inspect shaft alignment
Record suction and discharge pressures regularly; verify motor current draw matches baseline; compare actual flow/head to performance curve; inspect impeller for scaling/corrosion/erosion; check for internal blockages
Visual inspection for drips or wet spots; verify flange bolt torque per API/DIN standards; check gasket condition; test at 1.5x working pressure annually; monitor temperature rise indicating internal recirculation
