problem with reciprocating pump
(OP)
hi
we have a reciprocating pump for pumping caustic ( 30% conc).d/c pressure is abt 50 kg and flow abt 60 kg/hr .bucket filters are providedin thesuction.the pump fails intermittenly - pumping acton is there but no pumping.No solid entrainment is found in filters.and the funny part is tht pump will start pumping even by a minor blow by an iron rod on the s/c line or pump body.there are similiar pumps handling higher caustic conc in upstream but they r not facing this problem.
Please advise
