I have one question about starting or BUMP starting a pump.
We are discussing WHY THE IMPELLER AND CASING WEAR RING MELTED TOGETHER. OfFcourse we couldn't find out from operators. Before starting this VTB pump we checked if pump was rotating FREELY. Yes it was turning but a little bit stiff. Then after 10 min. operator is calling on radio telling that pump is stuck no rotation.
After this happening we took pump to shop and saw that wear rings at IB were melted together.....
We also notice that the discharge piping was plugged....
My question here is: CAN THE PUMP GET STUCK BY BUMP STARTING THE PUMP?????
Many thanks in advance for any answer on my question...
