Summary

Understand the key components of a pump, what are the failure points and what remedial work can be undertaken to recover the performance of the machine.

Understanding the key components of a pump is essential for effective maintenance and repair. 

This course will highlight common points of failure in pumps, focusing on parts such as the impeller, seals, and bearings, and provide practical solutions to prevent recurrence. 

Aimed at engineers responsible for pump maintenance, this course will guide you through implementing effective repair strategies to reduce future machine failures. 

There is a practical, hands-on element where you will see the assembly of pumps and learn how the various components interact during maintenance and repair.  
 

Who should attend?

This course will benefit pump engineers, supervisors, health and safety inspectors and others overseeing and maintaining the machine operational performance over its life.

How will I benefit?

After the course you will be able to:

  • Identify pump components
  • Understand the causes of failure and provide solutions to reduce future failure
  • Develop maintenance strategies for pump overhauls and preventive maintenance
  • Understand the importance of pump clearances and their impact on pump operating performance
  • Understand the importance of a pump operating performance onto the pump condition and pump failure
Contributes 14 CPD hours
