Desanding Pump Bearing Defect
Bearing defect on desanding pump led to failure despite low vibration and acceleration values. Vibration amplitude, operating factors, and equipment accessibility are crucial for quality condition monitoring and reliability.
Bearing Defect recorded on desanding pump ( barrel NDE ) with low vibration and acceleration values but high vibration amplitude which lead to bearing failure within three normal working days.
*Severity of vibrations is not only about high velocity and high acceleration values; consideration of the vibration amplitude, Operating factors ( internal and external factors, materials changes , frequency of operation , accessibility of the equipment with reguards to quality lubrication e.t.c). With this in our minds will help us do a quality Condition Monitoring and Reliability to our assets in our respective plants.
