When inspecting a pump in continued service, the two aspects specifically mentioned are:

• A. Cleanliness And Leakage
• B. Color And Temperature
• C. Noise And Vibration
• D. Wear And Tear

Answer: (A)

Keeping a pump in continued service hinges on two quick, essential checks: cleanliness and leakage. Cleanliness matters because dirt, sediment, or residues can contaminate lubricants, clog cooling or lubrication paths, and obscure wear or corrosion, making problems harder to detect and raising the risk of premature failure. Leakage is a clear signal that seals, packing, or gaskets are failing or misadjusted, allowing fluid to escape and potentially reducing efficiency, causing overheating, or creating environmental and safety hazards. Spotting and addressing leaks early helps maintain performance and protects people and the environment. Other indicators like color/temperature or noise/vibration can be telling, but the focus here is on keeping things clean and watching for leaks.
