•
When worn evenly more than 0.8 mm | 1/32 in.
Pumpout vanes
When worn or bent more than 0.8 mm | 1/32 in.
Vane edges
When you see cracks, pitting, or corrosion damage
Wear ring surfaces Wear ring clearances that exceed the values in the minimum running clearances table
Impeller checks
NOTICE:
When clearances between the rings become excessive (increase by 50%), hydraulic perform-
ance decreases substantially.
NOTICE:
Protect machined surfaces while cleaning the parts. Failure to do so may result in equipment
damage.
