This table shows the criteria for replacing the impeller:
Impeller parts
Impeller vanes
Pumpout vanes
Vane edges
Wear ring surfaces When the clearance to the casing wear ring has increased by 50% over the values in the Mini-
Impeller checks
NOTICE:
Protect machined surfaces while cleaning the parts. Failure to do so may result in equipment
damage.
•
Check and clean the impeller bore diameter.
•
Check the impeller balance. Rebalance the impeller if it exceeds ISO 1940-1, grade G2.5.
NOTICE:
You must have extremely accurate tooling equipment to balance impellers to ISO 1940-1,
grade G2.5. Do not attempt to balance impellers to this criteria unless this type of tooling and
equipment is available.
