Common failures & inspection points
Use non-contact infrared thermometer to check bearing housing temperature; establish baseline temperature during commissioning; trend data over time
Periodically monitor vibration with vibration analyzer; conduct vibration analysis by trained technician; identify bearing defects, resonance, and misalignment patterns; compare to baseline readings
Inspect all connections, seals, and joints for visual signs of leakage; monitor seal drip rate; check seal housing and mating surfaces for wear; address leaks immediately to prevent progression
Listen for cavitation noise (audible as crackling/popping); monitor NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) margin; check for pitting/erosion on impeller surfaces; verify suction conditions; maintain adequate suction pressure
Annual disassembly for internal inspection; examine impeller for grooves, pitting, or erosion; inspect casing for material loss exceeding 1/8-inch depth; replace components showing excessive wear; photograph wear patterns for trend analysis
