Narrative
During operator rounds found pump 44 case 1inch union leak post pipeline movement. The union was found tight when wrenches were applied. The unio n& piping are carbon steel. The pump has been in service since 1992 with no known failures at the union. Rust between orifice plate & union sealing surfaces caused seal flush union leak, releasing approx. 10 gals jet fuel. The pump was last serviced august 2009. The pump was locked & tagged out for repair following release. The union and attached piping was removed for inspection; the union was found to house an orifice, detectable by a small telltale that protrudes through the body of the union. The union was separated and found to have rust deposits on sealing faces. The union and orifice were cleaned, polished, machined, reassembled and tested under pressure before reinstalled & pump returned to service.
