5.
Wrong direction of rotation or impeller installed backwards.
6.
Be sure pressure gauge is in correct place on discharge nozzle or discharge pipe.
4.
Pump works a while and then quits
1.
Leaky suction line.
2.
Stuffing box packing worn - or liquid seal plugged - allowing leakage of air into pump cas-
ing.
3.
Air pocket in suction line.
4.
Not enough suction head for hot or volatile liquids. Check carefully as this is a frequent
cause of trouble on such service.
5.
Air or gases in liquid.
6.
Suction lift too high (suction pipe may be too small or long, causing excessive friction
loss). Check with vacuum or compound gauge.
7.
Impeller plugged.
8.
Obstruction in suction or discharge line.
9.
Casing gaskets damaged.
5.
Pump takes too much power
1.
Speed too high.
2.
Head lower than rating, pumps too much liquid.
3.
Liquid heavier than anticipated. Check viscosity and specific gravity.
4.
Mechanical defects:
Shaft bent
Rotating element binds
Stuffing box too tight
Impeller clearance too great
5.
Wrong direction of rotation, or impeller installed backwards.
6.
Pump leaks excessively at stuffing box
1.
Packing is worn or not properly lubricated.
2.
Packing is incorrectly inserted or not properly run in.
3.
Packing is not correct for liquid handled.
4.
Shaft sleeve scored.
5.
Insufficient packing.
6.
Damaged mechanical seal.
7.
Pump is noisy or vibrates
1.
Hydraulic noise - cavitation, suction lift too high. Check with vacuum or compound gauge.
2.
Mechanical defects:
Shaft bent
Rotating parts bind, are loose or broken
Bearings worn out
Coupling misaligned
8.
High bearing temperature
See
6.1.1 Bearing Temperatures on page 48
1.
Pump and driver misalignment.
2.
Pump capacity too low.
