Pumps provide flow of water, fuel, oil, slurries, wastes, and treatment chemicals very reliably. Proper design, selection, testing and commissioning require a thorough understanding of pumps technology. This training course provides the skills and knowledge of the design, selection, testing of pumps. Topics include types of pumps, construction and operation, losses in valves and pipes, cavitation and water hammer, seals and backing, troubleshooting and inspection, and standard symbols. Emphasis shall be laid on topics relevant to advanced aspects and practical knowledge of testing, operation, characteristic curves and selecting the appropriate pumps and how different parameters can affect pumps operating conditions. Characteristics and operating charts and curves will be stressed.
