FOR
BA OVERFLOW PUMP
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this work instruction is to explain the procedure for carrying out Overhaul of
BA OVERFLOW PUMP.
1. BA OVERFLOW PUMP
Make: Weir Minerals Ltd.; TYPE 8/6 E-AH, Q=305m3/h, H=0.29MPa, 415V, 37 KW, PART
NO.-EAM005M.
DETAILED INSTRUCTION
Sr. Activity Respons
ibility
No.
I Overhaul to be done as per Checklist
A crane / chain pulley block suitable for handling the weight of pumping
unit.
A selection of ring and open-ended spanners in Metric sizes.
Eyebolts in Metric sizes.
Hardwood and metal packing blocks.
Miscellaneous tools including a set of Allen keys, drills, pin drivers, files
etc.
Extractor / puller for bearing and coupling.
.
After a long service, wear will occur in parts of the pump necessitating the
renewal of the parts. Those most likely to be affected are impeller, Wear
Rings, Bearings, and Sleeves.

1. Remove bearing covers and gaskets by unscrewing of hex. Bolt. Refer fig.
no. 3
2. Fasten the bearing unit firmly to the bench vice refer fig. no. 4 Strike the
pump shaft end with a soft hammer. Refer fig. no. 4
3. Fasten the shaft (with bearings) to the bench vice and detach bearings
from shaft with a bearing puller. Refer fig. no. 5
Note: Always replace the bearings once they have been removed from the
shaft with new ones.
Unnecessary removal of the bearings should be avoided because removal of
the bearing can damage it and cause deterioration of the interference fit.
Except where removal is necessary to give access to the other parts, bearing
should be removed only if they need close inspection. Symptoms, which will
indicate the state of bearing, are the condition of the lubricant, the bearing
running temperature, noise level and vibration during operation.
Wearing Rings
The wearing rings have to be replaced when the clearances between the
wearing ring & the impeller & the Discharge cover exceeds three times the
max. Value as shown in the below table or when the reduction of efficiency
of the pump is noticed.
Shaft Sleeves
Impeller
b. Around the eye, wearing rings protects the impeller. Examine around
the eye at neck portion for grooving in alignment with spindle axis;
slight grooving is acceptable but deep or profuse grooving must be
remedied by machining the impeller by taking a polish cut on wearing
ring. Spare wear rings are supplied with excess outside diameter to
facilitate machining after fitting. The wear rings are shrink fitted on
impeller neck and are screwed.
c. To check wear, around the impeller neck, use precision instruments
such as outside micrometer to accurately measure the outside
diameter. Measurements should be taken at intervals around the
circumference to check the uneven wear. Differences between the
neck OD and the neck ring ID measured will give us the clearance
between the two. Clearance thus obtained should not be more than
150% of maximum designed clearance.
Bearings
a. Clean all the components using clean white spirit. Do not use
chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene and carbon
tetrachloride because they introduce a corrosion risk when used on
ferrous materials.
b. Visually inspect the bearing. The balls, the inner and outer tracks
must all be free from chipping cracks, abrasions or discoloration.

d. Visually inspect the bore for any sign of damage. Burrs or any
scratches caused during bearing withdrawal should be carefully
removed by hand application of a fine oilstone, the treatment being
confined to the minimum possible area.

b. Cut the packing ring to correct length and ends at 45º. Ensure
that the packing rings ends come into contact with one another

5 Reassembly
REVIEW DATE:-
Pump fails to Air leaking into suction or gland; Seal the leakage;
discharge any Incorrect direction of pump rotation & impeller worn; Check direction of rotation and replacing impeller;
liquid Suction pipe blocked Removal blockage.
Gland excessively tightened against packing rings; Loosen gland bolts;
Rotating component rubbing on a stationary part; Remove the rubbed parts;
Bearing has Impeller unbalanced due to wear; Remove rubbing and new Impeller;
short life Foreign object entered into the bearing or insufficient Clean the bearing;

Flow rate non-uniform and pump not primed Improve on the pump feeding.
SMP WILL BE REVIEWED IN EVERY SIX MONTH FROM THE DATE OF ISSUE BASED ON
ACTUAL PROBLEM FACED AND SHALL BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.
MECHANICAL MAINTANENCE TEAM WILL VISIT THE EQUIPMENT TWICE IN A WEEK & IF
ANY ABNORMALITY NAMELY (VIBRATION, ABNORMAL SOUND, TEMPERATURE RISE, BELT
TIGHTNESS ETC) OF EQUIPMENT IS OBSERVED AND THEN THE SAME WILL BE RECTIFIED
WITHIN PRESCRIBED TIME PERIOD.
DO’s :
2. Ensure relevant equipment/system is electrically isolated before starting the work, if applicable.
3. Ensure relevant air/water valves are fully closed for the equipment/system before starting the work.
4. Provide Danger Boards before starting the work involving dismantling of any equipment/system.
6. Ensure proper follow-up of all plant practices, existing regulations, prescribed procedures & general
safety prior to carry out any work.
7. While replacing any spares/oil, ensure that the same must be as per OEM recommendation.
9. Always use the special tools as recommended by OEM for certain equipments like HCSD Pump.
DONT’s :
1. Don’t start the work without presence of Safety Personnel in case fire / other hazards are involved.
3. Don’t use tools & tackles which are not calibrated / certified by relevant authority.
4. Don’t start the work in Pressure Vessels/Pressure Line/Water Line, unless it is completely de-
pressurised.
