Chemical Feed Pump Calibration Record

The chemical feed pump check records stroke and speed as found and looks for leaks without opening the chemical line. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not change a dose setpoint from a maintenance work order. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

The Procedure

The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

  1. Record the stroke and speed as found on the pump
  2. Confirm the calibration column and tubing are intact with the pump stopped if the site isolates it
  3. Look at the injection point for leaks you can see without opening the line
  4. Do not change a dose setpoint from a maintenance work order
  5. A leak is isolated and written up. It is not tightened live on a pressurized chemical line

Why This PM Exists

The chemical feed pump check records stroke and speed as found and looks for leaks without opening the chemical line. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not change a dose setpoint from a maintenance work order. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

What Skipping It Looks Like

A weep at the injection point gets tightened while the line is still under pressure. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not change a dose setpoint from a maintenance work order.

Setting the interval

Monthly. A leak is isolated and written up. Stroke and speed stay where they were found. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.

Common Questions

How often should this PM run?
Monthly. Monthly. A leak is isolated and written up. Stroke and speed stay where they were found. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
How long does it take?
Budget about 1.0 hour for a technician working to the standard procedure. ChatterFix uses that estimate for capacity planning, then learns your plant's actual time from completed work orders.
What happens if we skip it?
A weep at the injection point gets tightened while the line is still under pressure. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not change a dose setpoint from a maintenance work order.
