Description
Students will participate in a live operation of an industry standard centrifugal pump on a test stand and generate its specific pump performance curve. Students will learn to apply these procedures to in-plant practical applicatons. Procedures used to develop pump curves and performance data will be presented and the minimum data for successful field testing will be demonstrated.
