Weir SPM's Pump Monitoring Device (PMD) was developed to allow
the user to continually monitor the status of their well service
pumps with real time data in an easy to read format. The PMD allows
the operator to make the necessary changes during operation to
minimize or prevent costly damage to pumping equipment and increase
longevity of their pumps.
On a loud and hectic frac site, many problems are not always
evident until it is too late and damage has been done. Through
various sensors installed on the pump, the PMD provides a unique
opportunity to diagnose problems such as insufficient charge
pressure, discharge and suction valve failure, cavitation, as well
as other issues by displaying "alarms” to notify the user of any
problems as they occur.
