Pump vibration analysis is a crucial aspect of effective maintenance for industrial pumps. Vibrations can indicate wear and tear, alignment issues, and other potential problems that, if left untreated, can lead to costly downtime and repairs. As plant engineers and pump maintenance technicians, it's essential to understand the importance of pump vibration analysis and how it can help you identify and address issues before they become major problems. In this article, we'll explore the basics of pump...

As a result of conservative engineering practices, pumps are often substantially larger than they need to be for an industrial plant’s process requirements. Centrifugal pumps can often be oversized because of  “rounding up,” trying to accommodate gradual increases in pipe surface roughness and flow resistance over time, or anticipating future plant capacity expansions. In addition, the plant’s pumping requirements might not have been clearly defined during...

Let's talk about centrifugal pump impellers. These little guys are the backbone of any pumping system, and it's important to keep them happy if you want your system to run smoothly. Unfortunately, one of the biggest culprits of energy waste and lost efficiency is impeller clearance. But don't worry, as a mechanical engineer, you've got the skills to tackle this problem head-on. In this guide, we'll show you how to keep those impellers in top shape and make sure your pumps are running at their best....

As engineers, you know how important pumps are for industrial processes to run efficiently. However, when cavitation rears its ugly head, it can quickly undermine even the most advanced pump systems. Cavitation can cause damage to pump components, reduce efficiency, and increase downtime, resulting in significant losses for your company and headaches for you.

At the Pump Systems Academy, we've seen how challenging cavitation can be for maintenance and...

When exploring and learning about pumping systems, I was amazed at the information available online today in 2021.  For a non-engineer, there are numerous sites that provide incredibly easy to read and understand information.  The U.S. department of energy has done an excellent job with their tear sheets.  I’ve provided the information that they teach, as it’s an incredibly reliable resource:

Most pumps operating today were selected to...
