Periodic Inspection
Periodic Inspection of the Pump, Pump System and Ancillary
Equipment is required to maintain safety, conformity, operational
functionality and reliability. Blackmer recommends a maximum
interval of three months or 500 hours operation between routine
periodic maintenance inspections (More frequent inspections
may be necessary dependent upon usage, site conditions,
operation, etc.).
If any abnormal condition is discovered, cease operation of
pump immediately and take action to rectify the problem. Record
observations from these inspections in Pump Run Log.
For safe operation, the following items should be included in the
routine periodic inspection:
a. Inspect the Pump for LPG leaks, vibration, abnormal noises,
signs of overheating, discoloration, etc.
b. Inspect Coupling Assembly for signs of wear, overheating,
discoloration, etc.
c. Check Pump differential pressure
d. Check Motor Current.
e. Inspect motor for vibration, abnormal noises, signs of
overheating, discoloration, etc.
STRAINERS
Strainers must be cleaned regularly to avoid pump starvation.
Schedule will depend upon the application and conditions.
