This section compares the MTBF of centrifugal pumps in different industries and regions of the world, to visualize the opportunity for improvement. Remember that the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) measures the frequency of failures or interventions in centrifugal pumps. This KPI is used to compare both the availability and reliability of a mechanical element. The higher this value, the better the reliability and availability indicators.
Although statistics from about 8 years ago are shown, it can be noted that there is a wide range of these values when comparing different regions and markets. It is highly remarkable that the best indicators are found in “best of class” pumps in the Texas area, where oil mist lubrication is a standard practice among all users. A good way to view this slide is to understand that if you have an MTBF of less than 6 years, by applying mist lubrication, you will be able to improve this indicator, even if you think that the pumps do not fail due to lubrication problems.
