.........can be found in the original equipment manufacturer's maintenance and repair manuals supplied with the pumps.

Please check the tolerance of mechanical seal & coupling. These are the first to fail before the pump itself.

Remember, almost 90% of the failure analysis of the above are beyond the seal & coupling.
