PROBABLE CAUSES POSSIBLE REMEDIES
B. Mechanical troubles
l
l
l
l
l
l
Misalignment due to pipe strain. Check the flange connections and eliminate strains
using elastic couplings or a method permitted.
l
Improperly designed foundation. Check setting of baseplate: tighten, adjust, grout
base as required.
l
l
l
l
l
Shaft bent. Check shaft runouts are within acceptable values.
CONSULT FLOWSERVE.
l
l
l
l
Rotating part rubbing on stationary part internally. Check and CONSULT FLOWSERVE, if necessary.
l
l
l
l
l
Bearings worn Replace bearings.
l
l
l
Wearing ring surfaces worn. Replace worn wear ring/surfaces.
l
l
l
Impeller damaged or eroded. Replace or CONSULT FLOWSERVE for improved
material selection.
l
Leakage under sleeve due to joint failure. Replace joint and check for damage.
l
l
Shaft sleeve worn or scored or running off centre. Check and renew defective parts.
l
l
l
Mechanical seal improperly installed. Check alignment of faces or damaged parts and
assembly method used.
l
l
l
Incorrect type of mechanical seal for operating
conditions.
CONSULT FLOWSERVE.
l
l
l
l
l
Shaft running off centre because of worn bearings
or misalignment.
Check misalignment and correct if necessary. If
alignment satisfactory check bearings for excessive
wear.
l
l
l
l
l
Impeller out of balance resulting in vibration.
l
l
l
Abrasive solids in liquid pumped.
l
l
Internal misalignment of parts preventing seal ring
and seat from mating properly.
Check and CONSULT FLOWSERVE.
l
l
Mechanical seal was run dry. Check mechanical seal condition and source of dry
running and repair.
l
l
Internal misalignment due to improper repairs
causing impeller to rub.
Check method of assembly, possible damage or
state of cleanliness during assembly.
Remedy or CONSULT FLOWSERVE, if necessary.
l
l
l
Excessive thrust caused by a mechanical failure
inside the pump.
Check wear condition of impeller, its clearances and
liquid passages.
l
l
Excessive grease in ball bearings. Check method of regreasing.
l
l
Lack of lubrication for bearings. Check hours run since last change of lubricant, the
schedule and its basis.
