Inspect fire pump alignment at the pump and driver shafts, not by the apparent straightness of the coupling guard. Isolate hazardous energy, record the as-found condition, check soft foot and base integrity, relieve unacceptable pipe strain, and measure angular and offset alignment with appropriate tools. Account for the coupling type and manufacturer tolerances, then recheck after tightening and after the system reaches its operating temperature. Never run the unit with the guard removed. Keep the calculation and acceptance record with the final project documents so future tests use the same basis.

Recognize alignment symptoms
Vibration, coupling wear, hot bearings, seal leakage, unusual noise, loose fasteners, or repeated adjustment can indicate alignment or pipe-strain problems but are not proof by themselves. Treat this as a system condition rather than an isolated component choice. Identify the source of every input, the unit used, the operating condition it represents, and the person responsible for approval. If information is preliminary, mark the assumption and test how the decision changes at a conservative boundary. This prevents a neat calculation from hiding an uncertain water level, pressure, valve position, driver condition, or simultaneous demand.
For fire pump alignment, verify this section against the selected pump curve, the actual site arrangement, manufacturer instructions, and the current requirements accepted by the authority having jurisdiction. Check the installed condition as well as the drawing because pipe routes, elevations, supports, controls, and access often change during construction. Record the result in a form that can be repeated during commissioning and later inspection. Do not change a safety-critical setting or isolate fire protection without the approved impairment and restoration process.
Isolate and document
Follow the approved shutdown and impairment process. Record valve and controller status, coupling condition, shims, base, hold-down bolts, and previous readings. The most useful evidence is measured or approved project data, not a copied rule of thumb. Identify the source of every input, the unit used, the operating condition it represents, and the person responsible for approval.

Check base and soft foot

A distorted base, loose grout, corroded supports, or a foot that does not sit flat can move the shafts when bolts are tightened. Review this condition at normal, test, and credible abnormal states before procurement. Identify the source of every input, the unit used, the operating condition it represents, and the person responsible for approval.

Measure offset and angular error
Use the method approved for the coupling and accuracy required. Rotate shafts as allowed to distinguish true misalignment from runout or mounting error. The design team should turn this point into a traceable calculation or drawing note.

Pratik karar tablosu
| Inspection item | What it reveals | Correct response |
|---|---|---|
| Coupling element | Wear, heat, cracking, or contamination | Find cause before replacement |

| Angular alignment | Shaft angle difference | Adjust shims or position |
| Pipe strain | External load on pump nozzle | Correct pipe supports and fit |
| Hot verification | Thermal movement and operating behavior | Compare with manufacturer target |
Remove pipe strain
Check whether suction or discharge piping moves the pump when flange bolts are loosened under a safe approved procedure. Correct supports and alignment rather than pulling pipe into place. Treat this as a system condition rather than an isolated component choice. Identify the source of every input, the unit used, the operating condition it represents, and the person responsible for approval.

Account for thermal movement

Diesel engines, motors, pumps, and bases can move as temperature changes. Use manufacturer targets where cold alignment must anticipate hot operation.

Reassemble and guard
Tighten in a controlled sequence, verify coupling gap where applicable, reinstall the correct guard, and confirm nothing rubs.

Verify during operation
Record vibration, bearing temperature, leakage, noise, speed, and performance after startup. Recheck alignment if the base or piping was changed.

Sık sorulan sorular
Esnek kaplinler kötü hizalamayı tolere edebilir mi?
Sınırlı harekete uyum sağlar, ancak üretici sınırları içinde hizalama gereksinimini ortadan kaldırmaz.
Boru civataları flanşı yerine çekmeli mi?
Hayır. Borulama, pompa ağzına zorlama uygulanmadan bağımsız olarak desteklenmeli ve hizalanmalıdır.
Hizalama pompa çalışırken kontrol edilebilir mi?
Şaft hizalama ölçümü normalde güvenli izolasyon gerektirir. Titreşim gibi çalışma kontrolleri ayrıdır.
Neden sıktıktan sonra tekrar kontrol edilmeli?
Civata yükleri ve yumuşak ayak, ekipmanı hareket ettirebilir ve ölçülen sonucu değiştirebilir.
