Centrifugal Pump Minute

One of the most common phenomena that can lead to damaged centrifugal pumps is cavitation. When your centrifugal pump is cavitating, it can lead to premature seal, bearing or other part failures. In this Centrifugal Pump Minute, we break down how to identify when your centrifugal pump is cavitating and how you can prevent it through consistent pump monitoring

A leaking ANSI centrifugal pump can create costly, time-consuming repairs and potentially hazardous working conditions, making proper sealing techniques crucial in pump set-up and maintenance. No matter the type, your pump’s shaft seals should be inspected and replaced regularly as part of essential centrifugal pump maintenance. In this Centrifugal Pump Minute, we discuss the importance of shaft seals and the options available for your ANSI centrifugal pump.

Need to understand how to read a centrifugal pump performance curve? Looking to learn about the differences between multiple impeller designs? Ever been curious about the history of centrifugal pumps? You’re in luck! Check out this comprehensive centrifugal pump guide.

In an ideal pumping scenario, your pump will always be located beneath the fluid level, allowing gravity to easily feed the fluid into the pump, thus completing the priming process. However, when an application calls for the pump to be located above the liquid level, which of these is a more robust and reliable solution: a) a self-priming centrifugal pump or b.) an end suction pump with a check valve? For the answer, check out our latest Centrifugal Pump Minute.

Why is centrifugal pump inspection so important? Simple: by following a centrifugal pump inspection process, you can help ensure safe and reliable pump performance. But what does this process involve? Read our Centrifugal Pump Minute for answers.
