1, SCOPE
This standard operating procedure is generally covering up all aspect of pump mechanical running test for
centrifugal & vertical pump. This procedure is not to be applied on submersible pumps and seal-less pump.

2, PURPOSE
The mechanical running test proves acceptable mechanical operation over an extended period of time with
respect to vibration, bearing & oil temperature and leakage through mechanical seal, gasket and oil seals.

3, REFERENCE STANDARD
API 610 12th Edition : Centrifugal Pump for Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries
ANSI/HI 1.6-2000 : American National Standard for Centrifugal Pump test
WI-ENG-08 : Bearing Temperature Measurement

4, RESPONSIBILITY
Production : Installing the pump set to connect with the pump piping system testing and to ensure
cabel electrical of panel connected with the motor also.
Quality Control : - Responsible to test the pump and provide testing report.
- Communicating problems to related departements for further actions
- Approved test result with release acceptance testing card
Testing and Development : - Suggesting solutions for pump having performance problems
- Review and approve pump performance report.

5, TEST PROCEDURE

5,1 Instrument Calibration

Before the pump testing done, personal testing shall be ensure that all the measurement using still calibration
period and valid.

5,2 Place and Time of Testing

The testing done at PT. KSB Indonesia of pump performance facilities. The fluid of water with density ρ = 1
kg/dm3 is using at test medium.
Time of customer witness or inspection the pump performance shall confirmed by Order Processing with

5,3 Mechanical Test Condition Operation

1. The test set-up shall be suitable to run the pump at rated capacity at approximately rated speed.
The test set-up shall be same as that for performance test. Mechanical running test shall be conducted
after successful completion of performance test.
2. The test shall be conducted at rated capacity only.

5,4 Mechanical Test Instrument

- Capacity : Flow meter digital
- Pressure : Pressure transmitter
- Vibration digital
: Pruftechnic model
- Temperature : Laser thermometer
- Noise Level : Noise measurement
digital

5,5 Pre-Test Check

Below point shall be verified before switch on the pump motor :

- The pump and motor shall be aligned in parallel and regular direction with minimum acceptance deviation
0.1mm
- The pump has been properly connected to the electric power supply and is equipped with all protection
devices also make sure all bolt in baseframe, coupling, flanges have been tightened
- The pump has been primed with the fluid to be handled

- Adequate venting is arranged on the main discharge/suction pipe line

- All auxiliary connections required are connected and operational, make sure check pressure gauge level
both suction and discharge.
- The lubricants have been checked

- The direction of rotation has been checked

- Fill the system with water and ensure the all air is driven out of the loop.

- Open the valve in suction line fully and open valve in discharge line little bit.

5,6 Mechanical Test Procedure

- Switch on the motor and make sure the direction of rotation is proper.

- Slowly open the discharge valve till the pump capacity is rated capacity.

- Make sure there is no abnormal noise and vibration at the pump. Run the pump at this condition for at least
15 minutes.
- The test duration will be 4 hour. At interval of every 15 minutes measure and record the temperature at
bearing housing near bearings and ambient temperature.
- Reading of vibration, bearing temperature and oil temperature predetermined periodic intervals

- These reading must also meet the same acceptance criteria for vibration and temperatures as
outlined earlier for the performance test.
- Monitoring the flowrate during the mechanical run test, confirm operator to adjust it during the
test if it deviates greater than 5% of the flow rated.
- API 610 provides options for 3 types of mechanical run test that are fairly self-explanatory :

1. Mechanical run test until bearing oil temperature stabilization

2. 4 hour mechanical run test

3. 4 hour mechanical run test after bearing oil temperature stabilization

- Measure noise at 2 locations, each at 1 meters distance from the equipment.
