The usage of hydrostatic test pump, also known as hydrostatic line testers, ensures that the pipelines used to transport water and other fluids or gases are safe. They will identify any leak, no matter how minor. They’re also utilized on freshly installed pipes to ensure that they’re secure and properly linked. Hydrostatic test pumps are also used to inspect older systems and pipelines that have been repaired.
HIGH INLET PRESSURE PUMP
The High Inlet Pressure Pump uses a piston or plunger to move water in a cylinder. The pump is responsible for creating a force that causes the water to flow. Unlike a motor engine, which depends on piston action to spin the crankshaft, the pump employs the crankshaft movement to drive the pistons. Water can flow in and out of the pump as a result of this action.
PREVENTIVE AND MAINTENANCE OF CAT PUMPS
Inadequate inlet conditions can cause serious malfunctions in the best-designed pump. Surprisingly, the simplest of things can cause the most severe problems or go unnoticed by the unfamiliar or untrained eye. REVIEW THIS CHECKLIST BEFORE THE OPERATION OF ANY SYSTEM. Remember, no two systems are alike, so there can be no ONE best way to set up a system. All factors must be carefully considered. INLET SUPPLY should exceed the pump’s maximum flow to assure proper performance.
❏ Open the inlet shut-off valve and turn on the water supply to avoid starving the pump. DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY.
