    A pump is a device that moves a gas or liquid from one area to an


    This can be done by accelerating the liquid using centrifugal force
    (centrifugal/rotodynamic pumps) or by grabbing a certain amoun
    liquid and physically pushing it towards where it needs to go (pos
    displacement pumps).

    Pumps are perhaps the most widely used mechanical devices and
    designs vary as much as their applications. They are used in dom
    applications for washing machines, in municipalities for sewage a
    water treatment management, in HVAC systems to control conde
    collection, in industrial steam systems to return cooled water to th
    (boiler feed pump), for irrigation, flood control, and even pumpin
    out of your sinking ship. Some types of pumps are:

    Centrifugal Pumps Positive Displacement Pumps


    Overhung pump Reciprocating pump
    Vertical pump Lobe pump
    Split Case pump Helical pump
    Between Bearing pump Screw pump
    Diaphragm pump
    Scroll pump
    Peristaltic pump
    Gear Pump
    Nodding Donkey Pump

    Centrifugal Pumps

    Centrifugal pumps use a spinning propeller to increase the velocit


    liquid. The propeller spins inside a chamber that has a larger volu
    the outgoing pipes so that when the water, which is at an increas
    velocity, enters the outgoing pipe it is funneled down, and thus
    compressed. These pumps are generally classified as horizontal (p
    above) or vertical (picture at top of page). Another common
    classification/ nomenclature for these pumps is single stage versu
    stage. The pump above is a single stage pump because the water
    one impeller and then is ejected. In a multistage pump, the wate
    pressure will be increased by one impeller and is then fed to anot
    impeller to increase the pressure even more.

    Centrifugal Pump Monitoring Options


    440 Switch with External Sensor (Above)
    Provides local contacts as well as 4-20mA output for interface wit
    Sensor is located on pump while 440 switch is located in a more
    electronic friendly environment.

    SA6200 and 5535


    Provides 4-20mA output for interface with a PLC / DCS. Dynamic
    available from front panel for vibration analysis purposes. Provide
    options for custom filters, local display/indication, or galvanic isola
    ST5484E / ST5491E
    The ST5484E provides for the simplest installation available. Since
    loop-powered device, only two wires are needed for full operation
    ST5484E is connected directly to a PLC / DCS. Optional filtering a
    dynamic outputs are available. The ST5491E has a local indicator

    Special Case - Large Vertical Pumps


    Large pump applications, such as the one shown above, require a
    thorough monitoring scheme than smaller applications. For exam
    while it may be beneficial to monitor bearing temperatures of sma
    pumps, it is a necessity for larger applications.

    The Metrix solution provides a vibration sensor for all bearings, an


    sensor to detect cavitations, and a DATAWATCH monitor. The
    DATAWATCH monitors all vibration and temperature readings (inc
    bearing RTDs and Motor Winding Temperatures [provided by oth
    and compares them to pre-programmed setpoints in order to cha
    state of Alarm and Danger relay outputs.

    The DATAWATCH also provides trending of all signals, audit track


    Ethernet and RS232/485 communications (Modbus/TCP), remova
    memory storage, USB ports, and a color touch screen interface. M
    can also provide junction boxes for wiring convenience as well as
    DATAWATCH enclosures that are environmentally rated and have
    inputs and outputs pre-wired to rear panel mounted terminal bloc

    Special Case - Pumps with Journal Bearings


    Some pumps, especially pumps that run at high speeds and / or h
    loads, use journal bearings as opposed to rolling element bearing
    Journal bearings use a layer of oil to isolate the shaft from the be
    Therefore, the shaft is actually floating on a cushion of oil and ha
    contact with any other metal. Because of the oil layer, a vibration
    produced by the shaft does not have a path to travel to the mach
    casing. That means that a seismic sensor placed on the case of th
    cannot properly sense what is going on with the shaft.

    This makes it necessary to use proximity sensors to detect shaft f


    proximity probe mounts through the case of the machine and sen
    position of the shaft relative to the probe tip. The pump casing ho
    probe steady so that any movement in the shaft will cause the pr
    probe / transmitter to give an indication. This type of measureme
    termed “relative” because the shaft movement is being measured
    relation to the machine casing.

    Positive Displacement Pumps

    Positive Displacement pumps handle liquids or gases in a much m


    direct manner. These pumps use one of several methods to physi
    grab a quantity of liquid and push it to where it needs to go. A
    reciprocating pump operates in much the same way as a reciproc
    compressor in that it uses a chamber filled with liquid (or gas) wh
    compressed by a moving cylinder before the liquid is released into
    delivery system (piping). Gear pumps, vane pumps, helical pumps
    Peristaltic pumps all use interlocking / rotating parts between whi
    is trapped between and then pushed out of.

    Generally speaking, positive displacement pumps are too small to


    damaging vibration or are so inexpensive that a vibration monitor
    system is un-economical. That’s not to say that a situation will ne
    come up in which a positive displacement pump needs to be mon
    for vibration. In this case, please consult the Metrix factory for
    monitoring options.
