When it is needed
If equipment does not provide the stated operating conditions, fails prematurely or develops the same fault again after repairs.
What we examine
- Pump units
- Valves and associated pipework
- Control system components
Materials to prepare
- Data sheet and operating characteristic
- Connection diagram
- Operating condition and failure logs
- Repair and defect assessment records
Sample questions
- Is the unit suitable for the agreed application conditions?
- Which defects can be established?
- Are there signs of incorrect installation or maintenance?
- Are the recorded operating conditions consistent with the manufacturer's documentation?
- Which possible causes of failure are supported by the submitted data?
How the work is carried out
- Analysis of selection and operating conditions
- Inspection of the unit and associated pipework
- Checking the consistency of technical explanations
Result
A report on identified defects and technical conditions contributing to failure, with a list of necessary further examinations.
What affects the conclusions
Dismantling and bench tests are agreed separately. External appearance cannot reveal every internal defect.
Frequently asked questions
Can a pump be examined after removal?
Yes, but information about its installation, operating mode and removal conditions is needed.
Are control system data needed?
Logs and settings help distinguish a unit defect from unsuitable system operating conditions.
