BACKGROUND:
Town of Queensbury contacted Siewert Service Center in Albany regarding a Floway 16MKL Vertical Turbine
Pump installed and operating at the Town of Queensbury WTP. Queensbury reported the pump had been
experiencing a decreased output and requested a repair estimate. Queensbury delivered the pump to the Siewert
Service Center in Albany on or about September 14th,2023. The pump has been disassembled,cleaned, and
inspected, and the inspection findings and recommendations are below.
INSPECTION FINDINGS:
The pump was delivered in good condition and appeared to have good overall mechanical integrity. The pump
was disassembled, cleaned,and inspected.
Impellers (4):
Impellers shows minor signs of erosion. There is no sign of cavitation. The collets show no signs of wear or
damage.
Impeller Skirt Ring OD (All 4 Impellers): 8.875"
Bowl Wear Rings (4):
Bowl wear rings show signs of erosion and should be replaced as a wear item.
Bowl Wear Ring ID (All 4 Rings): 8.901"
Recommendation: Impellers are worn but not to a point of needing replacement. That given,replacement of
bowl wear rings using OEM wear rings will not bring the assembly into manufacturers specification. Siewert
recommends fabrication of new bowl wear rings and truing up the existing impellers to bring the assembly back
to OEM specification. This same repair was performed on pump serial 65954-1-1 previously repaired in 2022.
For optimal performance, fabricating new bowl wear rings and truing the impellers will ensure an OEM
specified running clearance between 0.016 and 0.022"."

Shaft: `""`'°"`°'This pump is assembled with three shafts;the upper line-shaft(top shaft),the lower line-shaft(intermediate
shaft), and the bowl shaft. The upper line-shaft and lower line-shaft were noted to have severe pitting, likely
caused by the chlorine in the water. The couplings were also noted to have severe pitting,also likely caused by
the chlorine treatment. The bowl shaft exhibited normal wear with no signs of pitting.
Bowl Shaft Runout(Center): 0.004"—Within tolerance
Lower Line-Shaft Runout(Center): 0.003"—Within tolerance
Upper Line-Shaft Runout(Center): 0.004"—Within tolerance
Recommendation: Replace the upper line-shaft, lower line-shaft, and couplings due to the severe pitting and
compromised integrity.
