When it comes to industrial operations, a pump failure isn’t just an inconvenience—it can mean significant downtime, safety risks, and costly repairs. That’s why testing industrial pumps before deployment is not just recommended, but essential. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) plays a pivotal role in ensuring that your pump performs reliably from day one.
As a trusted industrial pump supplier and Kirloskar pump dealers, VEMC can help you make more informed purchasing decisions.
What is Factory Acceptance Testing?
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is a quality assurance process performed by the manufacturer before the pump is delivered to the client. It’s a comprehensive test that evaluates the pump’s mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical performance against agreed specifications.
FAT acts as the final checkpoint to verify that the pump is fully functional, compliant with design parameters, and free of defects. It allows both the supplier and customer to address potential issues in a controlled environment before the unit is installed on-site.
Common Pump Failures Prevented by FAT
FAT can detect and prevent several issues, including:
- Impeller imbalance
- Seal leakage or improper seal installation
- Excessive vibration or noise
- Motor misalignment
- Poor hydraulic performance
By identifying these faults early, FAT drastically reduces the risk of breakdowns once the pump is operational—saving you from expensive repairs and extended downtime.
