Rotating of mechanical equipment
Thread Content
To all teams: The labeling of standby pumps has been completed. Pumps marked with red dots are those for single-numbered units, while those marked with yellow dots are for double-numbered units. Pumps that start automatically must be coordinated with the control room. For pumps that are in operation but not yet labeled, the person on duty should assign labels to them once those pumps are shut down. Pump rotation must be completed by 10 a.m. every day; failure to carry out pump rotation on time or in accordance with the specified procedures will result in penalties. Do people think such a rule is necessary?
Our requirement is a barring gear for the day shift
Turning the shaft is very necessary. It is part of the shift handover. Turning the pump is not solely done to check whether it is stuck; the main purpose is to prevent the shaft from deforming.
I don’t think it’s necessary. Turning the shaft too frequently can sometimes damage the mechanical seal.
It’s necessary; what if the main pump fails and the backup pump gets stuck? That would be disastrous
It’s fine to check it once every month or two
As the department responsible for operating the equipment, it is essential to perform pump barring.
Turn the machine once a day; it’s part of the tasks for the day shift
I think such regulations are very necessary. We’re about the same. Mark a red turning line on the shaft of the operating equipment. Down on single days, up on double days. :lol
