EASA Pump and Vibration Specialist

A quality repair in an EASA service center will yield a motor or pump that will meet just about any vibration spec­ification. And good EASA technicians could use their “finger vibrometer” to verify that. However, a large number of EASA customers demand a more formal means of verifying acceptably smooth operation. 

A few sophisticated customers have developed their own vibra­tion standards, but most depend on standards organizations such as the National Electrical Manufacturers As­sociation, or NEMA (electric motors), the Hydraulic Institute (HI) (pumps) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). There are also industry specific standards organiza­tions such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) for refineries and the Submersible Wastewater Pump As­sociation (SWPA). A working knowl­edge of the various standards will be beneficial for EASA service center technicians and managers.
