Visual Inspections Increase Centrifugal Pump Life
While there are many reasons why centrifugal pumps fail, a large percentage can be attributed to bearing failure caused by lubrication issues.

Des-Case’s Mark Barnes discusses the factors that can make a big difference in centrifugal pump life in the April 2022 edition of Pumps & Systems magazine.
