Common reasons for replacing an intake suction bell:

• Worn from cavitation erosion (pitting on inner surface near impeller eye)
• Cracked from thermal cycling or water hammer
• Corroded in aggressive service (H2S, chlorides, acidic fluids)
• Long lead time from OEM for replacement
• Budget constraints for repair

This replacement intake bell drops into the same pump casing, uses the same bolt pattern, and connects to the same suction piping — no field modification needed.

1. Send us the worn part or photos with key dimensions.
2. FARO 3D laser scan captures every contour.
3. CAD model reconstruction restores as-designed geometry.
4. CFD simulation verifies flow performance and cavitation behavior.
5. Mould production — investment casting for precision, sand casting for large parts.
6. Casting & heat treatment per material specification.
7. CNC machining to finished dimensions.
8. Full QC inspection before shipping.
