Description

The purpose of this demonstration will be to discuss pumping hydraulic principles. There will be a discussion of basic hydraulics and a description on how to read pump curves and gauges on a live demonstration unit. The demo unit for the training utilizes a working pump with a lexan face so the interior of the pump can be viewed. Common pump, hydraulics and system troubleshooting questions will be discusses, such as: What is cavitation? What is Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH), and why is it important to your pumps?

After this session, attendees will be able to:

1. Explain basic centrifugal principles.
2. Read gauges and be able to apply them on a centrifugal pump curve.
3. Discuss pump cavitation, along with its causes and how to fix it.   
4. Explain the importance of net positive suction head as it applies to the operation of a pump.    

Ideal Audience: Consulting Engineers, Pump Technicians.
