Abstract

Pumping sets play an important role in industrial plant and need continuous
monitoring to minimize the loss of production. Pump defects can cause major
problems if it is not repaired in the early stages, as it might cause process downtime
and high cost of repair. Thus, it is important to detect the early signs of wear in the
pump so precautions can be taken and process shut down can be planned in advance
so that it does not affect the production or process. Vibration analysis is one the
proven reliable method in determing the early signs of problems in pumps by
interpreting the vibration data from the rotary components. Abnormal vibration data
are studied thoroughly by experts to determine the source of the problem and the
intensity of the problem.
In this case study, the vibration of the vertical centrifugal pump are studied.
The vibration data of vertical centrifugal pump is studied using MATLAB solution to
determine the vibration of the pump at different parameters. The results obtain are
compared with LUDECA Machinery Fault Diagnosis Guidelines to determine the
type of problem and the severity of the problem, where the amplitude of the graph
obtained shows the severity of the problem and the frequency of the graph shows the
type of fault.
