Hello terrorist
First , you should 1st confirm that this is cavitation ,you are judging now only by sound, at least you can perform the vibration test and be sure that there is cavitation in pump.

Thanks for reply
This motor drives the pump which is using for propane transfer.
Motor power =200HP
RPM=1800
Motor bearing : Antifriction bearing
Arrangement of equipment : Horizontal
I want to know the general thumb rule or whatever the method to decide the best...
hello
can any one suggest the minimum and maximum axial/end play for the induction motor with antifriction bearing. If axial play is more what may be the bad effect on the equipment ?
hello all
We have a 4 stage Centrifugal pump recently overhauled. After overhauling there was some abnormal noise from OB bearing ,We had changed that bearing(ANGULAR CONTACT BALL BEARING) ,now oil is being discolored in 3-4 days of running of pump. We have flushed and refill two times but...
I think this is not standard to use vibration measurement tools for shim adjustment in running condition . Yes, it can be used to find the soft foot during running the equipment.
once you find out the problem of soft foot you can stop the equipment and correct it by using the dial indicator.

Thanks for reply
Yes you are right ,The process fluid is ethane with sp. gravity 0.435. Motor voltage is 4000V.
It might be problem with intermediate shaft sleeve but I think it should reflect in vibration and vibration is normal.
also we can not open the pump without...
hello JJPellin
pump is equipped with 435kw motor ,
pumps running with following data
for pump A Differential pressure is 117psi
for pump C Differential pressure is 116psi
Total flow for both pump is 13805BPH
hello EdStainless
suction / discharge tapping on the same distance from the piping for all pumps and it is just before and after the pump.
Motor is identical in all pumps.
hello Artisi
yes ,this is running with overcurrent 76-80 amps (More than full load current 75 amps ) always and sister pump with 65-69amps ,it not like spike.This is vertically suspended (V3) centrifugal pump. What do you mean by running clearance ?
phase current already checked and its nearly...
Hello jjpellin /LITTLEINCH
Thanks for reply
This pump has closed impeller and we have already checked all 3 phase current and t is like 76 78 & 76 for one pump and 66 67 & 68 for another pump.
These pumps have not any minimum flow lines individually.
is it good idea to check motor by solo...
i have attached here pump curve.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ce111779-a718-43c7-9f7c-c038c678e6a2&file=Scan_20160209_121056_(1).pdf
hello all
thanks for your interest and reply
I have seen the all pump curves supplied by the vendor and it is similar for all three pumps .I will provide to you pump curve. Here difference in ampere is by 8-10 amps in both pumps which delivering similar head in parallel operation. As I said...
thanks littleinch for ur reply...
As I said these pumps are identical and generating same head (same discharge pressure)with same suction pressure.They have common suction and discharge piing.
usually two pumps run parallel.
hello
we have three similar vertical pump in parallel operation with full load current of 75amps. One pump is taking current more than full load current 75amps. It takes 76-80amps. Others pumps takes 65-69amps @same time for same parameter.generally two pumps always in operation.
I have...
