Pump is out of hole, why it failed?
PCP failure analysis is key for optimization, but it is complex and requires experience. In most cases, visual inspection of rotor & stator is not enough to really understand root cause of failure.
PCM failure analysis software
Matching with CFER & ISO15136-1 standards, PCM has developed an internal online software, to record and report efficiently failure analysis (c/w worldwide database, KPI reporting & statistical analysis).
Five main axis of investigation:
- PCP system
- Rotor
- Stator External / Borescope / Destructive / Hardness
- Bench Test
- Operating data
Four highlights conclusion:
- Key observations
- Failed Equipment
- Root Cause Of failure
- Recommendations
