SOP FOR PUMP REPAIR
1. Preparation and Safety
2. Assessment and Inspection
- Check for visible leaks around seals and joints.
- Look for cracks or signs of wear on the pump casing.
- Inspect the area for any fluid accumulation.
- Assess the surrounding environment for cleanliness and safety.
- Record the pump model and serial number.
- List all major components and their specifications.
- Take note of any modifications or unique features.
- Ensure documentation is clear and organized.
- Listen for unusual sounds such as grinding or knocking.
- Observe for excessive vibrations that may indicate issues.
- Use vibration analysis tools if available.
- Document any findings related to noise or vibration.
- Inspect seals for cracks or signs of wear.
- Check bearings for smooth operation and play.
- Examine impellers for erosion or damage.
- Record the condition of each component for reference.
- Use a standardized format for documentation.
- Include all observations, measurements, and notes.
- Ensure records are accessible for the repair team.
- Review findings with the team to confirm understanding.
- Gather maintenance logs and repair records.
- Check for documented issues or recurring problems.
- Note any changes in operational parameters over time.
- Use a laser alignment tool or dial gauge.
- Ensure the pump and driver shafts are parallel.
- Adjust as necessary to meet manufacturer specifications.
- Use calibrated gauges to measure pressure.
- Utilize a flow meter to assess flow rate.
- Record temperature readings at specified points.
- Visually examine all wiring and terminals.
- Look for frayed wires or corrosion on connections.
- Tighten any loose connections securely.
- Inspect visually for cracks, corrosion, or leaks.
- Check for foreign objects or blockages.
- Assess pipe supports for integrity and alignment.
