I have attached a sectional drawing for this pump.
The shaft material is Duplex stainless steel and pumping medium is sea water.

While inspection of our vertical propeller axial flow pump, we observed that the impeller is moving when we push it. (Video attached)
Do we have to dismantle the pump completely to check the sleeve bearing for any abnormal gap or there is another test we can do it.

Tube Failures
If any water or steam carrying tube fails, the best shutdown method will be dictated by the size of
the failure, the ability to maintain a normal water level and the demand for the unit to remain in
service.
The following instructions are general since most of the...
Dears,
Any body has the standard of AWS/ANSI F4.1 (Safe Practices For The Preparation Of Containers And Piping For Welding, Cutting, And Allied Processes. Actually, I want to cut an oil pipe but I want to know the procedures and precaution to do so. If someone can help me to get this standard...
Thanks Mr. Sen,
actually, I went through All ASME concerning piping but I did not find any statement or specific procedure and precaution on how to replace old hydrocarbon piping.

Thanks for all those who replied but I think clamping solution is not practical one because as I told you that the diameter of the pipe is about 2 m. Moreover, I want a permanent repair since the unit is under annual maintenance so we have plenty of time.
So, is it practical to grind the hole to...
Hi all,
a pipe of 2 m diameter (Carbon Steel) and thickness 1 in, the flow of sea water and pressure max 2 bar.
We found a through-hole of about 2 in diameter under the coating.
My question is:
What is the recommended practice to repair such a problem like this?
