Will the pipeline tear the pump body?
Thread Content
On site, it was found that the pump body of one of the pumps in our equipment had cracked and water was spraying out. We sent a replacement pump body, but it couldn’t be connected to the pipeline – there was a 5-centimeter difference between them. The people on site said that the pipes installed by the construction party were misaligned, and forcing the connection caused the pump body to crack. But the construction party also refuses to admit it; when asked to redo it, they refuse as well. Has anyone else encountered this situation? How to handle it.
Yes, it is more common on reciprocating pumps. In fact, the fatigue strength of the pump body is lower than that of the pipeline. This tends to occur when there is a certain error between the pipe position and the pump position, causing the pump to move back and forth. Of course, a difference of five centimeters is no longer an error; it’s a mistake in the piping installation.
