Pump Basics
Plant Engineering Magazine
REGISTRATION REQUIRED
<<Pumps are one of the oldest machines used by man for transporting energy
from one form to another. It is not surprising that the there are many designs, resulting in some confusion when generic identification of a specific pump is attempted. The simplest way to classify pumps is based on the method used to transmit power to the pumped liquid, mechanical principle behind this energy transfer, and mechanical device for moving fluid. These considerations result in two major pump classes: kinetic (dynamic) and positive displacement.>>

Pump Installation "To do" Lists
Plant Engineering Magazine
REGISTRATION REQUIRED
<<A process engineer has selected a pump, chosen a vendor, and placed the
equipment on order. The project engineer begins managing the installation details. As he contemplates the remaining items required, he realizes that a variety of design activities lie ahead and a "To Do" list must be prepared.>>

Advantages of Parallel Pumping
Plant Engineering Magazine
REGISTRATION REQUIRED
<<It is generally true that the larger the fluid flow requirement, the more
viable parallel pumping can be. However, parallel pumping can be successfully applied to both large and small systems.>> Received on Tue Jul 01 21:28:00 2003
