Description
This is the first of four courses devoted to the Centrifugal Pump Hydraulics, Application & Troubleshooting Seminar. In this course we will briefly introduce the workings of a pump, followed by basic centrifugal pump hydraulics, such as pump anatomy and understanding gauge readings. In addition, we will go over pump performance charts and calculating the total dynamic head of pumps.
