Common Faults and Solutions of Pumps

In the overhaul process, the pump fault diagnosis is a very crucial part, the following gives some common faults and elimination measures, for you to set the pump fault diagnosis.
1, no liquid to provide, insufficient liquid supply or lack of pressure
1) no water or no proper exhaust, the elimination of measures: Check the pump housing and inlet pipe are all filled with liquid.

3) system head is too high, the elimination of measures: Check the system head (especially friction loss).
4) suction is too high, the elimination of measures: Check the existing net head (inlet pipe is too small or too long will cause great friction loss).
5) impeller or pipeline blocked, the elimination of measures: Check for any obstructions.
