Considerations Regarding the Pumps Vibration Monitoring Using Proactive and Predictive Maintenance Programs

The purpose of the pumps safety and failure mechanism used in processing industry is the loss limitation using mechanical face seals. Studying the notified damages analysis, the conclusion shows that in a high percent these were induced by vibrations. The vibration monitoring, as part of a proactive and predictive maintenance program, becomes necessary to reduce the environment pollution and the mechanical face seals damages. Due to the fact that the analyzed system is made of centrifugal pump, coupling, bearings and electric motor, we will use vibrations in the diagnose process.
