Description
A sound knowledge of pump hydraulics is vital to anyone who must operate, maintain and troubleshoot water and wastewater pumping systems. This class is designed to give the student a basic understanding of the hydraulic principles related to centrifugal pumps. Subjects covered will include hydraulic formulas and volumetric calculations, the properties of water at rest and in motion, and the hydraulic forces that exist in a pumping system. Drawdown testing, pump curves and the sizing of pumps and motors will be discussed. The student should bring a scientific calculator to this class.
