14. Last Re-build Year | Source: Maximo, Maintenance department


This data field is not considered mandatory

 

Year that pump was last re-built. If pump has not undergone any re-builds then the year that pump was installed.

 

A pump is considered re-built when it comes out of service and undergoes mechanical repairs.

 

15. Max. Pump Capacity | Source: Maximo, P&ID, Manufacturer, Site visit | Units: Gallons / Minute (gpm)

 

Maximum permissible flow rate through the pump without causing pump damage.

 

[1] Maximum flow rate (Qmax): maximum permissible flow rate at which the pump can be continuously operated without suffering any damage at the rotational speed.

 

Note: Pump flow rate can vary with fluid properties.

 

16. Total Dynamic Head | Source: Maximo, P&ID, Manufacturer, Site visit | Units: Feet (ft.)

 

Total equivalent height that a fluid is to be pumped.

 

[2] Total Dynamic Head is the amount of pressure differential created by a pump as it operates.

The TDH developed by a pump is the difference between the suction pressure and discharge pressure of the pump while in operation.

A pump will generate TDH in response to the characteristics of a pumping system which can be expressed by a system curve. When a pump curve and a system curve are plotted on the same graph, the intersection of the curves is the point at which the pump will operate, and the head at that point is the TDH the pump will generate.

19. Impeller Diameter| Source: Maximo, P&ID, Manufacturer, Site visit | Units: Inches (in.)

 

Diameter of the pump impeller.

 

[14] Normally, pump vendors provide a range of impeller diameters suitable for a pump. Impeller diameters are determined based on required head at design point. The pump manufacturer will then trim the impeller to the required diameter.

 

20. Pump Casing Material | Source: P&ID, Manufacturer, Site visit

 

The housing material for the pump.

 

[3] Pump casings serve to seal off the inside of the pump to atmosphere to prevent leakage and retain pressure. In the case of  centrifugal pumps , they surround the pump rotor which transmits energy to the fluid handled via the  impeller (s) mounted on the rotating shaft.

In the case of  positive displacement pumps , they surround the rotary or reciprocating displacement elements (e. g. one or more pistons).

 

21. Pump Impeller Material | Source: P&ID, Manufacturer, Site visit

[4] What is a multi-stage pump?

A pump that contains different stages within the piping system where force is applied to the water. Each stage consists of one impeller as well as its accompanying diffusion components. The term “multistage” is usually used in reference to centrifugal pumps.

In many cases, these pumps are referred to in terms of how many stages they contain. For example, a pump with four stages might be referred to as a four-stage pump, or one with 10 stages would be referred to as a ten-stage pump.

Electric potential of the motor.

 

[7] Single-phase motors are available in both 115V and 230V models while 3-phase motors can operate at 230V and 460V, but how can you know which operating voltage is right for your needs?

·          115V motors can be connected to the average household outlet, and these single-phase motors are ideal for home uses, particularly with our  beer pump systems .

·          230V motors are available in both single- and 3-phase designs and require an electrical connection like that used to power a clothes dryer. These motors can bridge the gap between residential and industrial grades.

·          460V motors are ideal for more industrial settings, allowing the same amount of power to be delivered to a motor at a reduced current. Because of their improved efficiency, these motors are available in 3-phase designs.

37. Alignment | Source: Maximo, Work Orders, Maintenance department | Units: Year, mils/inch, mils/inch


This data field is not considered mandatory

 

Proof of alignment (Pump to Motor). Please provide the last year the Pump & Motor System was aligned, the recommended tolerance, and the alignment value.

 

[8] Motor-Pump alignment is the process of aligning shaft centerlines between a motor and a pump. The motor is the prime mover, transferring power to the pump by the use of a coupling. This is probably the most common configuration of coupled machines in industry.

In this type of alignment, the motor is almost always the moveable machine, and the pump is the stationary machine. In almost all cases, the pump is already piped up with suction and discharge flanges, which means it can move only slightly, if at all.

Proper shaft alignment is achieved by moving the motor. The motor is shimmed vertically to achieve the proper elevation to align it to the pump, both parallel (offset) and angular. The motor is them moved horizontally to achieve proper horizontal placement for aligning the shaft centerlines, both parallel and angular. The motor is moved horizontally by the use of jacking bolts, or by the use of pry bars, hammers, or other tools.

·          C2,D1 – Class 2, Div 1

·          C2,D2 – Class 2, Div 2

·          C3,D1 – Class 3, Div 1

·          C3,D2 – Class 3, Div 2

·          Other – Classified, but not listed

·          N/A – No classification found or needed

Hazardous (or classified) location of asset.

 

·          C1,D1 – Class 1, Div 1

·          C1,D2 – Class 1, Div 2

·          C3,D2 – Class 3, Div 2

·          Other – Classified, but not listed

·          N/A – No classification found or needed

[9] The hazardous area classification system determines required protection techniques and methods for electrical installations in the location.  

Class/Division System

The Class/Division/Group system is based on Article 500 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) where

Class

Class defines the general nature (or properties) of the hazardous material in the surrounding atmosphere.

Class

Nature of Hazardous Material

Class I

Hazardous because flammable  gases or vapors  are present (or may be present) in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.

Class II

Hazardous because combustible or conductive  dusts  are present (or may be present) in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.

Class III

Hazardous because ignitable  fibers  or flyings are present (or may be present) in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.

 

Division

Division defines the  probability  of the hazardous material being present in an ignitable concentration in the surrounding atmosphere.

Division

Probability of Hazardous Material

Division I

The substance referred to by class has a  high probability  of producing an explosive or ignitable mixture due to it being present continuously, intermittently, or periodically or from
the equipment itself under normal operating conditions.

Division II

The substance referred to by class has a  low probability  of producing an explosive or ignitable mixture and is present only during abnormal conditions for a short period of time - such as a container failure or system breakdown

 

39. Foundation | Source: Maintenance department, Site visit

 

The type of foundation that is installed with the Pump & Motor System. If there is any damage, corrosion, and/or bolts are missing please make a note of it.

 

·          Bolted

·          Bolted with Epoxy

·          Bolted with Grout

·          Not Bolted

·          Other

·          N/A

 

[10] The foundation of a stationary  centrifugal pump  must be capable of absorbing the  forces  and  torques  transmitted to it by the pump without shifting its position (see  Smooth running ); in some cases it must also withstand forces transmitted by the associated  drive  and  piping  connected to the pump (see  Pump nozzle load ).

The foundation's strength and vibration behavior play a decisive role in ensuring its functional reliability.

 

40. Containment | Source: Site visit

 

Containment is present for Pump & Motor System.

 

·          Yes - containment is present

·          Yes, to be reviewed. – containment is present, but needs to be further reviewed

·          No - no containment present

 

Containment is provided for Pump & Motor System to capture spills or product releases.

 

41. Re-circulation / By-pass | Source: P&ID, Site visit

 

Re-circulation / bypass is present for pump system:

 

·          Yes – Re-circulation back to the pump

·          Yes – Re-circulation back to the source

·          Yes – Bypass the pump

·          No – Re-circulation / Bypass not present

 

Ability to continue product movement through a secondary pipeline around pump.

 

42. Reducer Proper Installation | Source: P&ID, Site visit

 

Proper installation of reducer:

 

·          Yes – Properly installed

·          No – Not properly installed

·          N/A – Not applicable

 

[11] Eccentric reducer is recommended for horizontal flow to the pump. This configuration prevents are pocket accumulation at the upstream end of the reducer. Concentric reducer is recommended for the vertical inlet (suction) piping or horizontal installations where there is no potential for air vapor accumulation.

When the source of supply is above the pump, then the eccentric reducers must be placed with the flat side down. When the source of supply is below the pump, then the eccentric reducers must be placed with the flat side up.

Figure 2

In case of long horizontal pipe runs, air pockets are avoided by installing the eccentric reducer with the flat side up.

Figure 3

Figure 4 - Concentric Reducer

43. Intake Line Fittings Allowance | Source: Calculation | Units: Inches (in.)

 

Calculation (Pump inlet diameter * 5).

 

[11] Pumps, and especially centrifugal pumps, work most smoothly and efficiently when the fluid is delivered in a surge-free, smooth, laminar flow. Any form of turbulence reduced efficiency and increases wear and tear on the pump’s bearings, seals and other components.

ANSI/HI 9.8 American National Standard for Pump Intake Design (P21,1998) states, “There shall be no flow disturbing fittings (such as partially open valves, tees, short radius elbows, etc.) closer than five suction pipe diameters from the pump. Fully open, non-flow disturbing valves, vaned elbows and reducers are not considered flow disturbing fittings.” This standard eliminates any reference to the possible flow distribution that could be generated by the reducer.

The concept is simple though, ensure stable and uniform flow onto the impeller eye. This results in fewer pump failures over the life of the pump due to vibration caused by flow induced turbulence.

Figure 5

In case several improperly specified parameters come into the equation (e.g. viscosity changes etc), then it would be prudent to install as many as ten suction pipe diameters of straight piping next to the reducer inlet flange. A number ranging between five (5) to ten (10) suction pipe diameters of straight pipe run is typically the recommended value in published technical literature.

Sometimes due to space constraints, it’s just not possible to make provision for a sufficient settling distance in the pipework before the pump. In these cases, use an inline flow conditioner or straightener.

46. Vibration | Source: P&ID, Site visit

 

We are asking for two criteria regarding vibration to be examined with two drop down lists:

 

Vibration sensors are properly installed for Pump & Motor System:

·          Yes – Installed

·          No – Not installed

 

Vibration detected on Pump & Motor System (If “Yes”, please explain how it was measured and documented in the notes section & please submit attachment) :

·          Yes, Documented and Measured

·          Yes, Measured

·          No

 

If you have responded “yes” to the second drop-down list (Vibration detected on Pump & Motor System), please explain how it was measured and documented in the notes section & please submit attachment. Please identify the data field number “46.”.

[12] Vibration monitoring of critical and auxiliary pumping systems helps improve machine reliability, safety and production capability. Pumps produce vibrations indicative of running condition, incipient faults and component failure. These vibrations appear at specific frequencies across a wide spectrum.

Industrial piezoelectric accelerometers provide the dynamic and frequency ranges required for complete pump monitoring. Vibration is an integral part of an effective, predictive maintenance program, enabling the early detection of failure modes such as impeller erosion, pump imbalance, shaft looseness, coupling problems and cavitation. The vibration sensor that is for the application will depend on the frequencies of interest and the type of pump being monitored.

47. Bearing Temperature Thermocouples | Source: P&ID, Site Visit

 

Bearing Temperature Thermocouples are properly installed for Pump & Motor System.

·          Yes – Installed properly

·          No – Not properly installed

[13] Condition monitoring has proven important in the installation and maintenance of all types of turbomachinery throughout the past 30 to 40 years. Babbitt bearing temperature is primarily important because bearings are the critical links between the rotating and stationary components in a machine. If temperatures are taken in the correct location with respect to the direction of bearing load, to direction of shaft rotation and to the distance of the tip of the sensor from the bearing running surface, then Babbitt metal temperatures can be the best indicators of a bearing's operating condition.

Data analysis from many bearing tests, prototype turbomachinery tests and day-to-day operation has pinpointed the locations of greatest sensitivity for installing temperature sensing probes. In most bearing applications, the current state-of-the-art technology uses some type of electrically variable tip at the end of a current conducting set of wires. The wires provide a flexible connection to the outside of the bearing while the sensor tip is engineered to the smallest practical size for insertion into the bearing.

49. Emergency Shutdown System | Source: P&ID, Site Visit

 

Emergency Shutdown System is properly installed for Pump & Motor System.

·          Yes – Installed

·          No – Not installed

[14] The purpose of an Emergency Shutdown System (ESD) is to provide a fail-safe independent control system that can shut down a station and isolate it in the event of a pipeline rupture or a fire at the station.

The ESD system overrides any operating signals from the station or local controls and its design therefore, needs to meet the requirements of both the regulatory regime and the owner’s own design philosophies and criteria.

The ESD is the last line of defense to shut down a station and must be able to perform its function even if the station has lost normal power supply, has lost the ability to communicate with SCADA or in the case of local control, system failure

·          No – Not Installed

 

Please answer yes if there is a leak detection system installed for the Pump & Motor System. Some examples of leak detection systems include Plan 65B Seal Leak Pot, HCD Point Detector, and Slick Sleuth Detector.

 

51. Fire Protection System | Source: SCADA, Site Visit

 

We are asking for three criteria regarding fire protection system to be examined with three drop down lists:

 

Fire protection system is installed for or near the Pump & Motor System.

·          Yes – Installed

·          No – Not Installed

 

Proximity of fire protection systems to Pump & Motor System.

·          Within 10 Feet

·          Between 10 and 50 Feet

·          Greater than 50 Feet

·          N/A – Not Installed

 

System response

·          Automated System

·          Manual System

·          N/A – Not Installed

 

First, we want to know if there is a fire protection system installed for or near the Pump & Motor System. If so, we would like to know how close the fire protection systems (fire monitors, fire truck hook ups, etc.) are to the Pump & Motor System.
