Causes
27
Rotating part rubbing on stationary part.
28
Bearing worn.
29
Wearing rings worn.
30
Impeller damaged.
31
Casing gasket defective, permitting internal
leakage.
32
Shaft or shaft sleeves worn or scored at packing. Replace.
33
Packing improperly installed.
34
Type of packing incorrect for operating condi-
tion.
35
Shaft running' out of center because of worn
bearings or misalignment.
36
Rotor out of balance, causing vibration.
37
Gland too tight, resulting in no flow of liquid to
lubricate packing.
38
Cooling liquid not being provided to water-
cooled stuffing boxes.
39
Excessive clearance at bottom of stuffing box
between shaft and casing, causing packing to
be forced into the pump.
40
Dirt or grit in sealing, liquid leading to scoring of
shaft or shaft sleeve.
41
Excessive thrust caused by mechanical failure
inside pump or by failure of hydraulic balancing
device, if any (in case of multistage pump etc.)
42
Excessive grease or oil in antifriction bearing
housing or lack of cooling, causing excessive
bearing temperature.
43
Lack of lubrication.
44
Improper installation of antifriction bearings
(Damage, incorrect assembly of stacked bea-
rings, use of unmatched bearings as a pair et c.)
45
Dirt in bearings
46
Rusting of bearings from water in housing
47
Excessive cooling of water- cooled bearing,
resulting in condensation of atmospheric
moisture in bearing housing.
