FOREWORD
This operation manual contains instructions for installation, operation and maintenance of
the SERVA 6X5X11 centrifugal pump. As pump service and specifications vary considerably on
pump installation, this manual cannot possibly cover every situation, but it is hoped that the
information included will serve as a guide. Should questions arise, or startup problems occur, it is
suggested that you contact SERVA or SERVA Distributor or Salesman in you area.
The SERVA 6X5X11 is a kind of centrifugal pump for use in oilfields, available in splined shaft
type, extended shaft type and oil lubed & extended shaft type. It is widely used on cementing
units and fracturing units for oilfield development because of its high pumping head, large
displacement and long service life.
The SERVA corrosion resisting centrifugal pump is a type of pump for pumping corrosive
liquid based on the SERVA SCP series centrifugal pumps. Its most of parts can be interchangeable
with SERVA SCP series pumps for consistent performance and quality.
These series centrifugal pumps for chemical purpose are designed and manufactured in
accordance with international standards and processes of non-metal pumps. Pump fluid parts are
lined with metal or sprayed with FEP (F40); shaft seals are Hastelloy mechanical seals; shaft
sleeves, stationary rings and rotating rings are 99.9% silicon carbide; seals are expensive
perfluorinated materials. These series centrifugal pumps are features with corrosion proof, high
mechanical strength, smooth operation, advanced and rational structure, reliable sealing
performance, easy dismantlement and repair, long service life, etc.
There are many principles of proper pump installation and application as well as special
considerations for the pump design which, if followed, will further enhance the performance of
your SERVA pump.
This document will deal with both general and specific recommendations for improved SERVA
centrifugal pumps in both oilfields and industrial applications.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1． Operate the pump only in the performance range for which it was designed.
2． When operating in drilling mud, prevent packing drippage from clogging the drip pan and
hardening around the slinger and front seal area.
3． Adjust the packing so that a small amount of leakage remains for lubrication and cooling.
4． See Mechanical Seal Installation when the pump shaft seal is mechanical.

INSTALLATION
I GENERAL
A. LOCATION
The pump should be located near the liquid source so that the suction line may be short and
direct. The pump should be located below the level of the liquid to eliminate the necessity of
priming.
B. FOUNDATION
The foundation should be sufficiently rigid and substantial to absorb any vibration and to
permanently support the base plate at all points. A concrete foundation, poured on a solid footing
of adequate thickness to support the pumping unit, provides the most satisfactory foundation.
The base plate should be installed in a level position.
When fabricated skid bases are utilized, the foundation should be sufficiently rigid and leveled
properly to absorb any vibration and to permanently support the base at all points.
C. COUPLING ALIGNMENT
Good service life of the pump and driver depends upon good alignment through the flexible
coupling. If the electric motor was mounted at the factory, the pump and motor were in alignment
when shipped. The alignment between the driver and pump should be inspected after installation
to ensure that transportation or other handling has not caused misalignment of the unit. Poor
alignment may cause failure of the coupling, pump, or motor bearings, or of either shaft.
Alignment must not be attempted until the base is in position and the mounting and
flange bolts have been tightened.
The recommended procedure for coupling adjustment is by the use of a dial indicator. The dial
indicator is attached to one coupling half with the indicator button resting on the O.D. of the other
coupling half to measure offset misalignment. To measure angular misalignment, the indicator is
positioned so that the button rests on the face, near the O.D. of the other coupling half. Rotate the
shaft and dial indicator one full revolution while other shaft remains stationary and note the T.I.R.
Unless otherwise specified by the coupling manufacturer, offset misalignment should be limited to
0.010 inches T.I.R. and angular misalignment should be limited to 0.005 inches T.I.R. Adjust
misalignment by loosening driver or pump mounting bolts and re-tightening or shimming as
required.
In areas where a dial indicator arrangement is not available, an adequate job of alignment
can be done with a straight edge. This method is especially useful if the coupling used contains an
all rubber drive element.
To check offset misalignment, lay the straight edge in line with the shafts on the O.D.’s of the
coupling halves. There should be no gaps under the straight edge. Check two locations 90° apart.
Angular misalignment can be checked by measuring the gap between coupling half faces. There
should be no more than 1/64” gap under the straight edge or 1/61” variation in the gap between
coupling haves.
D. PIPING
1. GENERAL
3
NOTE: Piping must not be connected to the pump until the grout has hardened and
foundation bolts and pump holddown bolts have been tightened.
Piping should be anchored independently of the pump and as near to it as possible. Pipe
companion flanges should line up naturally with pump flanges. Do not draw the pipe to the
pump with flange bolts.
2. SUCTION
Properly selected and installed suction piping is extremely important to eliminate vibration
and cavitation in the pump. Vibration can cause packing problems, mechanical seal damage or
undue bearing loads. The suction line should be equal to or larger than the pump suction.
The capacity of a centrifugal pump should never be adjusted by throttling the

suction line. A positive shut-off valve of a type to cause minimum turbulence should be installed
in the suction line to permit the closing of the line and removal of the pump for inspection and
maintenance.
The suction line should be designed to eliminate any air pockets. The piping should gradually
slope downwards to the source of supply to eliminate air pockets.
The suction line should have a straight section into the pump of a length equivalent to at least
two (2) times its diameter, i.e. 4-inch suction; 8-inch straight run.
For temporary hook-up, where flexible hose is used, a non-collapsing hose is essential since
the suction line pressure is often below atmospheric pressure. A collapsing suction will result in
below average or complete loss of flow.
3. DISCHARGE
A positive shut-off valve should be located in the discharge piping to permit inspection and
maintenance of the pump.
All piping should be independently supported and accurately aligned. The pump must not
support the weight of the pipe or compensate for misalignment.
If operating conditions are not known with sufficient accuracy, it will be necessary to provide
a throttle valve (such as butterfly valve) in the discharge line to ensure that the pump operates
at the design point.
If the pump is connected to a pressurized system, it is important to install a check valve

between the pump discharge and the throttling valve. The check valve will prevent back flow
through the pump. Back flow may cause the impeller to become loose on the shaft. A loose
impeller will likely result in mechanical damage and fluid leakage beneath the shaft sleeve.

PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION

I. GENERAL
A. INITIAL LUBRICATION (OIL LUBRICATED PUMP)
NOTE: Oilers are set at the factory to the lowest position. This setting will place the oil level
just below the center of the bottom ball of the bearing when the housing is level. Higher levels
may cause churning and overheating of the bearings; lower levels may provide insufficient
lubrication and promote rapid wear. The correct oil level will be visible at the center of the
sight oil gauge.
Standard pumps are shipped with empty oil reservoirs. Oil must be added before
operating the pump. Attach the oiler to the bearing housing, fill the bottle with oil and place it
in position. Refill the bottle until the bottle remains full of oil. Oil should not be added to the
reservoir except through the oiler bottle.
A good grade of SAE 10W 30 oil may be used.
The air vent should be kept clean to prevent pressure build-up because of normal heating
that occurs in operation.
B. MECHANICAL SEALS
The seals are installed and adjusted at the factory. To properly prepare the seal for operation,
various cooling and flushing flows may have to be connected. Liquid from an outside source may
be required. Connect necessary cooling and flushing flows to mechanical seal, be sure flow is
turned on before starting the pump.
WARNING
NEVER OPERATE A PUMP “DRY” WITH MECHANICAL SEALS. MECHANICAL SEAL

FAILURE WILL OCCUR!
C. START-UP
WARNING
IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT THE ROTATION OF THE MOTOR BE CHECKED
BEFORE CONNECTING THE SHAFT COUPLING. INCOORECT ROTATION OF THE PUMP
FOR EVEN A SHORT TIME WILL DISLODGE THE IMPELLER AND DAMAGE THE IMPELLER,
SHAFT OR BEARING HOUSING. THE PUMP SHAFT MUST TURN CLOCKWISE WHEN
VIEWED FROM THE MOTOR END.
Check the following items before starting the pump:
1. Pump rotates freely by hand

2. Coupling aligned
3. Oiler full and oil level correct
4. Suction valve fully open
5. Pump and suction line full of fluid
6. Water to stuffing box or gland flush
7. Discharge valve slightly open
5
OPERATION
I. GENERAL
A. PRIMING
Vent air from suction line and fill with liquid. Start pump with discharge valve cracked open.
After discharge pressure stabilizes, gradually open discharge valve to required position. If flow is
lost, close discharge valve and wait a few seconds for discharge pressure to build.
Continued flow difficulty indicates an improper selection or installation. Running the pump
too long with improper prime may destroy the sealing faces of the mechanical seal due to
mechanical damage from pulsation and interference between rotating and stationary
components.
Thermal shock may crack the ceramic stationary seat if temperature is raised from room
temperature to 2500F in less than 30 seconds.
Do not run pump with suction and discharge valves closed.
B. MAXIMUM OPERATING CONDITIONS
NOTE: These maximum operating conditions apply to pumps which are exposed to room
temperatures without external insulation.
1. Cast Iron: Maximum working pressure 175 psig at 150℉ for 150 psig at 250℉. Interpolate
for pressure between 1500F and 2500F maximum.
2. Steel: maximum working pressure and test pressure in accordance with Tables 2.1 through
2.23 and table3, ANSI B 165.5-1973.
3. Cooling water through the lantern ring is required when the fluid being pumped is between
1500F and 2500F. In addition, it may be necessary to run water ver the exposed shaft to
prevent excessive heat at lip seals and bearings.
4. Maximum hydraulic performance in accordance with published performance curves for

individual pump sizes.
C. PUMP SPEED LIMITATIONS
Pump Speed Limitations

Bearing Lubricant Max. RPM Allowable
Grease 1900
With the large shaft and bearings used in this pump, the above limitations must be observed
in order to control bearing operating temperature.
D. PUMP RECORDS
Maintain data cards or pump records whenever possible. This will provide ready access to
information for ordering spare parts and for evaluating pump and mechanical seal
performance.
1. Pump size and serial number.

6
2. Pump model number, impeller diameter, material of construction.

3. Mechanical seal manufacturer, type, code and drawing number.
4. Motor horsepower and speed of operation.
5. Service conditions.
6. Frequency of operation.
7. Record of maintenance, including parts usage and general condition of the pump.
8. Nomenclature and part number of replacement items.
E. LUBRICATION
1. BEARINGS
a. Grease
Bearings are prelubricated from the factory. Grease lubricated and oil lubricated centrifugal
pumps should be included in the customer’s lubrication maintenance program. It is recommended
that grease lubricated pumps have five shots from a standard hand operated grease gun injected
into the inboard and outboard bearing lubrication ports every three (3) months. The shaft should
be rotated 1/4 turn between each shot of grease. Grease available in sealed tubes is
recommended. If grease from other type containers is used, ensure the grease is clean and free
from water or other contamination. The inboard bearing cap is equipped with an inlet and relief
grease port. The relief port should be removed and grease should be added to the inlet port until
grease exits the relief port. Be sure to replace the relief plug after lubrication.
b. Oil
Pumps are shipped less oil. Oil lubricated pumps must be maintained and operated in a
horizontal level position. The pump is equipped with a dip stick to allow the operators to check the
oil level. Oil lubricated pumps should be inspected on a daily basis to ensure proper oil levels are
maintained. The oil should be changed on a quarterly basis or if contamination has occurred. The
recommended oil is 10W30 non-detergent. Synthetic oils are not recommended due to their
incompatibility with standard oils.
2. STUFFING BOX
The stuffing box may be relubricated as often as necessary to prevent the packing from
overheating. It should be lubricated at lease once a day.
Grease should be pumped into the box while turning the shaft until it comes out around the
packing gland (approximately 20 shots).
If the packing leakage is excessive, a thick water compatible pump grease should be used
rather than the general purpose grease. In most cases, general purpose grease will be
acceptable.
3. LIP SEALS
The inboard bearing cover is supplied with a zerk fitting between the 10 and 11 o’clock
position facing the suction. This is designed to create a grease barrier between the inboard lip
seals and should be grease prior to washdown and at least once a week with 5 shots of general
purpose or water pump grease.

sledge to turn impeller counterclockwise as viewed from suction end.
e) Remove stuffing box cover bolt (23).
f) Remove stuffing box cover (4) from frame by hammering on the back side in the area where
box fits in to the frame. 。
NOTE: If the disassembly being performed does not require the replacement of the
mechanical seal, the stationary seat must not be removed the stuffing box.
g) Pull packing (45) from stuffing box bore.
h) Remove shaft sleeve (8). A wedge may be driven between the end of the sleeve and shoulder
on shaft to free the sleeve. If the pump has a mechanical seal that does not need to be
replaced, care must be taken to avoid damaging or dropping the rotary seal ring when
removing the sleeve.
i) Remove the deflector (11).
j) Remove bolt (27) from inboard bearing cover (14).
k) Remove the two through bolts (37) on the outboard bearing housing. These are the bolts
threaded into the frame (12).
l) The complete shaft and bearing subassembly can now be pulled from the frame.
m) Remove outboard bearing cover (20).
n) Bend tab on lockwasher back and remove lock nut and the lockwasher.
o) Remove bearing housing and bearing from shaft.
NOTE: Impacting of entire shaft assembly against a board on the ground will
remove the outboard bearing assembly.
2. INSPECTION
a) IMPELLER: Replace if impeller shows excessive erosion (especial on pump-out vanes on

back side of impeller), corrosion, extreme wear or vane breakage.
14
b) SHAFT: Check for runout to see that shaft has not been bent. If runout exceeds 0.05mm,
replace shaft. Bearing seats and oil seal area must be smooth and free of scratches or
grooves. Shaft threads must be in good condition. Replace shaft if necessary.
c) SHAFT SLEEVE: Sleeve surface in stuffing box must be smooth and free of grooves. If
grooved, replace.
d) BALL BEARINGS: Replace if worn, loose or rough and noisy when rotated. New bearings
should not be unwrapped until ready for use. Replacement bearings must be of the proper
size and type as supplied with original equipment.
e) MECHANICAL SEAL: Seal faces, gaskets and shaft sealing members must be in perfect
condition or excessive leakage may result. Replace worn or damaged parts.
f) SEALS: It is recommended that all O-Ring and gasket seals removed during disassembly be
replaced. In those cases where new seals are not available, the old ones can be reused if they
are not torn or otherwise damaged.
g) OTHERS: All parts should be clean before assembly. This is especially important at retaining
ring and O-Ring grooves, threads, gasket surfaces and bearings and bearing lubricating areas.
Any burrs should be removed with crocus cloth.

NOTE: Installation of the bearings with a press is an acceptable substitute for the following
method. Apply load to the inner race only, when pressing the bearings onto the shaft.
a) Heat bearings to 300°F (149℃).
NOTE: One-half hour in an oven at 300°F will work nicely.
b) Slip large, inboard bearing (18) onto the shaft.
CAUTION: Bearings must shoulder against the shaft.
c) With bearing housing seal (28) in place, slide the bearing housing (19) onto the shaft from
the coupling end. The large O.D. of the bearing housing should be facing the coupling end.
d) Slip outboard bearings onto the shaft.
NOTE: Bearings are to be mounted back to back, that is, the sides of the bearings with
manufacturers name and the bearing number are place together.
CAUTION: bearings must shoulder against the shaft. Allow bearings to cool. With
lockwasher (32) in place, tighten locknut (30) with the bevel positioned against the bearings.
Tighten locknut to 250ft/Ib (339Nm) torque. Bend tab of lockwasher into nut.
e) Pack the bearings (18 and 22) full with grease, preferably Chevron SRI-2 or any of the
aforementioned grease.
f) Lightly grease or oil outboard bearing O.D>’s and pull bearing housing over them into place.
The outer races may be pushed in with a hand push or with light tapping applied only to the
outer race.
15
g) Install lip seal (21) in outboard bearing cover (20) with the lip aimed inward toward to the
bearings. Generously lubricate the rubber lip and the shaft in the sealing area. Fill the space
behind the lip on the seal and half the bearing cover with grease.
h) Slide the outboard bearing cover over the shaft. Secure cover with two bolts (37) and
washers tightened evenly to approximately 20 ft/lb (27Nm).
② POWER FRAME SUBASSEMBLY
a) Install inboard bearing cover seal (16) into inboard bearing cover (14) flush with the backside
of the cover. Install the exlusion seal (17) flush with the outside of the cover. The sealing lips
on both seals should be pointed outward from the bearings for grease lubrication, the lip of
inboard bearing cover points inward for oil lubrication. Pack the area between the lip seals full
with grease. Using grease to hold it in place, put the inboard bearing cover gasket (15) on the
cover (14).
b) Insert the shaft and bearing subassembly into the frame (12) until the threaded end of the
shaft extends approximately halfway into the drip pan area.
c) Slip inboard bearing cover assembly over the end of the shaft. Continue installing the shaft
and bearing assembly in the frame until the gap between the frame the bearing housing
flange is approximately 6.5mm.
d) Install two bolts with jam nuts (57) in the threaded holes (37, 1/2*1.5″) in the bearing
housing. Install the remaining two bolts (37) through the unthreaded holes in the bearing
housing and thread tem into the frame. Do not tighten any bolts.
e) Bolt inboard cover to frame with bolt (27, 3/8*2″) and nut (26).
f) Lubricate deflector O-Ring (44) and install in deflector (11). Slip deflector assembly on shaft
with ribbed side facing away from the bearing cover.
g) Slip shaft sleeve seal (52) onto the shaft and push it to the shoulder where the sleeve will
seat.
h) The sleeved area of the shaft must be lightly coated with anti-seize compound before
installing the sleeve. Install sleeve (8) with a twisting motion to spread anti-seize compound.
The gap between the sleeve and the shaft shoulder will be approximately 0.8mm.
③ ASSEMBLY OF FLUID END TO POWER FRAME
a) Lubricate the inside of the frame where the stuffing box cover slips in with anti-seize
compound. Install stuffing box cover and secure with bolt (23).
b) Lubricate shaft threads and face of shaft sleeve with anti-seize compound. Wash off the
O-Ring with clean shop solvent and pat dry with a clean cloth. Install the O-Ring into the
impeller. DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANTS. Thread the impeller with impeller seal O-Ring
onto the shaft. Tighten to approximately 160ft/lb (217Nm).
c) Loosen the two through bolts (56).
d) Draw the bearing housing rearward with the jam bolt (56) while rotating the impeller. Stop
when the impeller just touches the stuffing box cover.
16
e) Bring the through bolts up finer tight.
f) Loosen the jam bolts (56).
g) Tighten the through bolts (56) until a clearance of 0.5mm exists between the impeller (3)
back vanes and stuffing box cover (4).
h) Advance both jam bolts (56) until they touch the frame finger tight, then tighten the jam nuts
(57).
i) Now tighten the through bolts down evenly. Rotate the shaft. The impeller should turn
freely without rubbing.
j) Install casing gasket. Hold it in place with grease if necessary.
k) Apply a light coat of anti-seize compound on the stuffing box cover.
l) Install casing (1) on the frame using studs (24) and nuts (25). Put a small quantity of
anti-seize lubricant on the threads on the nut end of the studs. Tighten nuts to 140ft/lb
(190Nm) torque using a crisscross tightening pattern.
④ PACKING THE PUMP (rectangular packing)
a） Take a packing about 245mm in length (for length in detail, refer to the shaft sleeve (8) OD)
and roll it into a packing ring.
b) Grease all three packing rings. Attention should be paid to opening direction when installing
three packing rings. Adjacent two packings should be split in 180°.
c) With two packing gland in position, swing gland bolts into place, Tighten the gland lightly
against the packing using the gland bolt nuts. CAUTION: Tighten gland against packing
finger tight only. If packing is over tightened it may be burned when the pump is
started.
⑤ MECHANICAL SEAL
a) Tighten the two through bolts until the gap between the frame outboard bearing housing is
about 1.6mm.
b) Make sure that the inside of the stuffing box (4) is clean and that 30° bevel on the 3-3/8″ I.D.
is free from burrs and sharp edges. Coat the I.D> of the stuffing box stationary seat pocket
with oil. Place the stuffing box on a table or other flat surface with the impeller side facing up.
c) Remove the sticker from the stationary seat (12) if one is attached. The sticker side of slotted
side must be installed away from the impeller or down when the stuffing box is positioned at
described in step b above. Coat the O.D. of the stationary seat the O-Ring with a thin film of
oil.
d) Carefully install the stationary seat into the stuffing box. Be sure groove of stationary fits
properly over drive pin. Be sure that the stationary seats evenly against the stuffing box
shoulder.
HINT: Wrap the end of a wooden hammer handle with a rag and press firmly on the face of the
stationary. Do not strike. Push gently on a side alternating from side to side until the
stationary seat is all the way down.
17
Coat the stationary seat face with light oil, then wipe off the majority of the oil with a clean
cloth leaving only a light film.
e) Lubricate the inside of the frame where the stuffing box slips in with an anti-seize compound.
Install the stuffing box and secure with bolts (23). Care should be taken to prevent bumping
the stationary seat on the shaft end.
f) Remove the rotating seal ring (6) if it is not glued in position and stored in a safe place.
Whether or not it is glued can be determined by pulling on it gently. Coat the O.D. of the shaft
sleeve (8) and the I.D> of the bellows with a thin coat of oil.
g) Place the sleeve with impeller end up on a table. The impeller end is the end with the smallest
I.D. With the sealing face of the rotary unit facing down and the rubber end up, gently ease
the rubber bellows over the sleeve and push it to the bottom half of the sleeve, (Not
necessary to push all the way to the bottom.) if the rotating seal ring (6) has been removed,
lightly coat the face of the bellows with grease. (This is necessary to hold the rotating seal
ring in place during assembly.)
h) Make sure no foreign material is on the seal face. Make sure the shaft is free of nicks and
burns and clean and dry. The sleeve area of the shaft, the shaft threads and shaft face must
be lightly coated with an anti-seize compound before installing the sleeve. Install sleeve with
a twisting motion. As the seal faces make contact continue to push the sleeve through the I.D>
of the rotary seal element until the gap between the sleeve and the shaft shoulder is
approximately 0.8mm.
i) Install the spring retainer and the impeller O-Ring in its groove and coat with anti-seize
compound. Place the mechanical seal spring over rotary unit of the seal which is inside the
back cover.
j) Thread the impeller (1) onto the shaft (7). Be sure that the spring engages in the retainer on
the impeller. Tighten to approximately 160ft/lb (217Nm) torque.
k) Back the through bolts (56) out approximately 6mm. Tighten the jam bolt (56) until a
clearance of 0.38-0.5mm between the back of the impeller and stuffing box is obtained. Do
not move the impeller toward the stuffing box and then back out. This will cause
improper compression of the seal bellows. If the impeller is moved out by mistake, the
entire seal rotary unit must be removed and reinstalled on the sleeve. Alternately
tighten the through bolts and jam bolts making sure that eh clearance set above is
maintained. Tighten the jam nuts and recheck the clearance.
l) Install casing gasket (2). Hold it in place with grease if necessary. Apply a light coat of
anti-seize compound on the 14-1/8 diameter of the stuffing box cover. Install casing (1) on
the frame using studs (35) and nuts (24). Put a small quantity of anti-seize lubricant on the
threads on the nut end of the studs. Tighten nuts to 140ft/lb (190Nm) torque using a
crisscross tightening pattern.
m) Grease all three shaft packing rings. Insert all packing rings alternating the splits from top to
bottom starting with the split on the first ring at the bottom.
n) Attach two packing press plates (5) to pump with bolts and nuts. With the packing gland in
position, swing the gland bolts into place. Tighten gland bolt nuts lightly against the packing.
CAUTION: Tighten gland against packing finger tight only. If packing is over
tightened it may be burned when the pump is started.

⑥ INSTALLATION OF MECHANICAL SEAL
Mechanical seal structure is shown below:

a） Install O-Ring into the stationary seat.
b） Pin (29) must be inserted into the stationary seat to prevent rotation.
c） Rotate the pump by hand to check for any friction exists between the mechanical seal
and the shaft. The pump should rotate smoothly.
d） Open the inlet valve of the pump to introduce medium for hydrostatic pressure test to
check sealing performance. If no leakage is found, slowly rotate the pump by hand. This
not only check leakage, but also vent out air in the sealing cavity. Quickly rotate the
pump and then start the pump.

TROUBLESHOOTING
A. EXCESSIVE PACKING LEAKAGE & RAPID PACKING WEAROUT & SHAFT SLEEVE
COATING WORN
Remove the packing. Slide a wire, with a short section of the tip bent 90°, into the stuffing box.
Run the “stylus” tip of the wire along the shaft sleeve. If deep grooves are noted the sleeve must
be replaced. Excessive tightening of the packing will cause rapid sleeve failure.
B. PACKING BURNED
Replace the packing. Initial overtightening and attempting to run packing without leakage will
cause the packing to burn. Once the packing is burned it becomes hard and will not squeeze down
on the shaft causing uncontrollable leakage.
C. EXCESSIVE STUFFING BOX PRESSURE
Caused by excessive clearance between the impeller back vanes and the stuffing box cover
and/or worn impeller back vanes. The solution is to readjust the impeller clearance or replace the
impeller.
