Appendix a. Checklist of Problems With Centrifugal Pumps and
Their Causes
1. Pump Does Not Develop Any Head, Nor Does It Deliver Liquid
2. Pump Develops Some Pressure, but Delivers No Liquid
3. Pump Delivers Less Liquid Than Expected
4. Pump Does Not Develop Enough Pressure
5. Shape of Head-capacity Curve Differs From Rated Curve
6. Pump Consumes Too Much Power
7. Pump Does Not Perform Satisfactorily, Although Nothing
Appears to Be Wrong With Pumping Unit or System
8. Pump Operates Satisfactorily During Start, but Performance
Deteriorates in a Relatively Short Time
9. Pump is Operating With Noise, Vibrations, or Both
10. Stuffing Box Leaks Excessively
11. Packing Has Short Life
12. Mechanical Seal Has Short Life
13. Mechanical Seal Leaks Excessively
14. Bearings Have Short Life
35415. Bearings Overheat
16. Bearings Operate With Noise
17. Pump Overheats, Seizes, or Both
18. Impeller or Casing, or Both, Has Short Life
19. Loud Blow is Heard Each Time Pump is Started or Stopped
20. Casing Bursts Each Time Pump is Started or Stopped
21. Gaskets Leak During Pump Operation
22. Flow-rate Periodically Decreases, or Stops Completely, Then
Returns to Normal
23. Pump Develops Cavitation When the Available Npsh is
Increased
