Attainable Pump Efficiency for Rotodynamic Pumps: March 25th, 2025 | Live Webinar

Attainable Pump Efficiency for Rotodynamic Pumps 

 Date: Tuesday, March 25th, 2025

 Time: 1pm ET 

 PDH Credits: 1

Overview

This webinar covers methods to determine attainable pump efficiency for rotodynamic pumps coving major factors that influence pump efficiency including pump type, design, rated flow and head, pumpage, rotational speed and other important factors.  Based on the HI 20.3 Guideline, methods to calculate the generally attainable pump efficiency will be presented along with examples for different pump designs.  The following rotodynamic pump types will be covered: slurry, solids-handling, paper stock, multistage between bearing, ASME/API, vertically suspended, and double suction.

Learning Level – Intermediate:

Intermediate level training is designed for individuals who have some experience and basic knowledge on the topic. 

It builds upon basic concepts and expands the breadth and depth of understanding supporting the development of skills.  

Audience:

Individuals looking gain in depth technical knowledge or those looking for a refresher, including pump system designers, engineers, technical support, test technicians and engineers, reliability and rotating equipment engineer, and experienced maintenance and operation personnel. 

Learning Objectives

• Why pump type and design influences pump efficiency
• How to calculate specific speed
• How specific speed affects optimum efficiency
• Factors that impact efficiency such as surface roughness and impeller trimming
• Methodology for predicting generally attainable efficiency levels for various pump types

The acceptance of continuing education as it applies to fulfillment of the state licensing requirements for professional designations is at the pleasure of the individual state licensing boards. It is the responsibility of the individual participants to be knowledgeable about their state requirements.

Licensed Professional Engineers

Continuing professional development is a vital component to the engineering licensure process. Most state licensing boards require continuing professional development as a condition for licensure and renewal of the license to practice engineering. Pre-approval of training providers and courses are not required by most state licensing boards, except for the following:

Florida Board of Professional Engineers

Pump Systems Matter is a board-approved continuing education provider for the Florida Board of Professional Engineers: License # CEA361.

New York State Board for Engineering, Land Surveying, and Geology

Pump Systems Matter is approved as a sponsor of continuing education for professional engineers in New York State: NYS Sponsor # 241.
