Europump Guide on Improvement of Reliability of Pumps by Condition Monitoring - Consequences on MTBR/MTBF
This guide highlights the importance of “in-service” monitoring of pumping systems through the description of the main parameters to monitor and the ways to acquire them. It also briefly illustrates how they can be effectively processed and analysed to retrieve valuable information on the status of the equipment under surveillance. This guide is for use by operations managers of plants or systems, maintenance engineers, sales and procurement officers, and offers a clear and concise picture of the importance and complexity of a condition monitoring system in an industrial environment.
EUROPUMP Guideline on Directive 2006/42/EC (New Machinery Directive)
The New Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC came into force on 30 December 2009. It brought some changes which affect the pump industry. The revised definition of "machinery" led to the biggest change in conformity assessment for years. Changes on the fixing of guards and the requirements for documentation were included in the revision. This guideline gives specific support to pump manufacturers and is a valuable addition to the official Guidelines (issued by the European Commission). It gives brief but substantial information and a clear interpretation of the directive’s content.
