This pump coupled to the electromotor that was initially run under normal operating conditions and its speed was at 1450 RPM. Two different configurations were tested broken impeller and leakage (seal faulty) conditions (figure (3)). All vibration signals were collected from the experimental testing of pump using the

Gear sets generate tones known as the gear mesh frequency. The gear mesh frequency is calculated via equation 1. (1) GMF No.ofTeeth RPM The corresponding spike at this frequency generally amplifies as gear damage increases (Andy et al., 2003), according to we used from this theory to calculate the impeller mesh frequency. The impeller mesh frequency calculated via equation 2.
The most basic form of vibration analysis is called an overall vibration measurement. This reading provides a single number that describes the total amount of vibration energy being emitted by a machine. The idea is that more vibration indicates a problem. Signal data was acquired for machine conditions, including: a normal pump, broken impeller and leakage of the pump at operating speed of 1450 RPM. The experimental results of the overall vibratory velocity level of pump have shown in figure (4). The warning and critical reference value is 2.8 and 4.5 mm/s, respectively. It's obvious from figure (4) that the overall vibratory velocity level of the in-bearing of pump was on critical level at several measurements. The typical vibration spectrum of the in-bearing of pump has shown in figure (5), that shows the measured vibration spectra and the arrows show main vibration peaks. CONCLUSIONS The results clearly indicate a significant variation in vibration trend as a function of operating conditions. The experimental results demonstrated that the vibration monitoring rig modeled various modes of machine failure was indeed capable of both independently and simultaneously generate common machine faults. In this research we have been made an experimental test system that we were able to perform practical tests on the constructed rig to confirm the expected theoretical frequencies that we needed. This research was offered complementary strengths in root cause analysis of machine failure, and natural allies in diagnosing machine condition. It reinforces indications correlation between vibration condition monitoring and fault diagnosis for centrifugal pump. Both amplitude of the dominating peak and its location along the frequency axis changes in various conditions of pump.

Figure4. Comparison of overall vibrations of pump in healthy, broken impeller and leakage condition.
Data analysis required comparing the plots obtained for each test condition to those expected for the specific machine faults simulated. Prominent frequency spikes determined from the time and frequency domain graphs were also compared to the theoretical vibration fault signatures. The results showed that the RMS values for healthy pump at 1450 rpm were on acceptable status. The results showed that the RMS values for the broken impeller were on critical status.
