Dismantling Centrifugal pump

May 13th,back in the marine workshop,we've dismantled a centrifugal pump

It was a 2 1/2 foot long pump but it weighs more than I thought . No one would ever thought it would weight that heavy. Rather than wasting time waiting for others moving their pumps, we tried to shared our strength, pulled the centrifugal pump away from the place it was placed .

When we were done moving it, we were like the "A-team" ,working together ,quickly and perfectly . I took the tool box, took out the adjustable spanner and everyone loosen all the nuts and bolts.

Removed all the parts,place it perfectly on the ground and was assembled to the way it was removed to prevent us from forgetting which one was the first to be put on.

It was easy though, there were not much parts inside the centrifugal pump.

By the way ,it was a pump for water,not air.

30 minutes before the class ends,a group have finished earlier than us. We were pressured that we werent able to stay the first to finish every workshop practise. Our focus was then back to the pump . We reassembled the pump in not more than 5 minutes ,that was an amazing teamwork.
