The How-To of Truly Predictive Maintenance for Pumps

September 12, 2024

Industrial pumps play a crucial role in moving fluids and gases across various industries. They account for a significant portion of motor-driven equipment in industrial production facilities, contributing to substantial energy consumption. According to the United States Department of Energy (DOE), process pumps constitute 25% of total motor system energy use in production. The ability to predict pump failures is therefore critical for operators across all industries.

This article provides a brief guide to how to deliver truly predictive maintenance for your pumps. It discusses various failure modes, sensor options, and the value of PdM for pumps overall. It’s a great guide to get started toward truly predictive maintenance!
