Coupling Refurbishment/Upgrade

About Coupling Refurbishment & Upgrades

When a coupling has been in service for many years, it is advisable to remove it periodically and return it to Coupling Corporation for a thorough inspection. CCA upgrades the most highly stressed components, typically the diaphragms and bolts. The remaining components are cleaned and inspected for structural integrity. Finally, the coupling is reassembled and balanced, if necessary.

When is an Upgrade Necessary?

In cases where the driving or driven equipment is upgraded, the coupling may also need to be upgraded. Consult Coupling Corporation to determine whether your coupling can be upgraded or must be replaced with a higher-capacity model.

The following images show a 15,000 HP feed pump coupling that was refurbished after 12 years of service.
