Pump Testing & Servicing │ Kennewell Pumps │ Keep your pumps running smoothly

How our pump testing works

Our certified technicians bring advanced testing equipment directly to your facility or conduct tests in our fully equipped workshop. You’re welcome to watch the process, so you leave with peace of mind and a solid understanding of your pump’s condition.

01.

Initial Assessment

We discuss your specific system and concerns, then determine which tests best suit your equipment and operational needs.

02.

On-Site or Workshop Testing

Most testing is done on-site to avoid disruptions to your operations. But for certain pumps – like submersible models – we use our custom 7,000L test tank in-house at our workshop for accurate performance checks.

03.

Comprehensive Diagnostics

Our technicians perform a range of tests tailored to your pump type, ensuring every aspect – from suction sizing to vibration – is carefully evaluated.

04.

Detailed Reporting & Advice

We provide clear results and practical recommendations – whether it’s maintenance, repair, or replacement – helping you make informed decisions.

What types of pump testing do we offer?

Our testing covers pumps with suction diameters from ¼” up to 6”, discharge diameters up to 6”, and motors up to 30kW – matching the needs of most industrial and commercial applications.

Performance Testing

Measures flow rates and efficiency to confirm your pump meets operational demands.

Pressure Testing

Checks discharge and suction pressures to spot leaks or blockages in the system.

Vibration Monitoring

Detects imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear before failure occurs.

Vacuum Pump Testing (Orifice Plate Method)

Assesses vacuum system integrity and wear by testing suction and discharge capability.

Non-invasive Camera Inspection

Visualises internal components without dismantling to catch hidden issues early.

Laser Alignment

Ensures precise alignment between pump and motor shafts to prevent leaks or damage, and ultimately extend service life.

Thermal Testing

Monitors temperature changes for signs of overheating or friction.

Specialised Testing for Submersible Pumps

Using our dedicated 7kL submersible test tank to simulate real operating conditions.

Why regular pump testing matters

Just like regular checkups at your doctor help you catch your health issues before they turn into serious problems, checking up on your pumps on a regular basis can help extend their service life by a significant degree.

But ignoring the health of your pumps can lead to unexpected breakdowns, costly repairs, and disruptive downtime. Our testing uncovers hidden problems early – before they become emergencies – saving you both money and stress.

Our on-site testing approach means you don’t lose days waiting for off-site repairs or guesswork about your pump’s condition. You get fast, transparent results that let you plan maintenance proactively and keep your operations flowing smoothly...
