Basic System Hydraulics: Pump & System Curve, Energy Consumption & Control Methods
1-Part On-Demand Webinar
Overview
It is important to be able to visualize pump curves and system curves to understand their interaction and impact on the operating point and energy consumption. Learn system hydraulics in this 1-part webinar so that you will have a better understanding of pump and system curve interaction and the considerations for varying the operating point and the resulting system energy consumption.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, attendees should be able to:
- Provide basic definition of pumps and systems
- Understand the pump curve and types of pump curves
- State the components that develop the system curve
- Calculate pump system power and energy consumption
- Understand pump/system interaction and the operating point
- Evaluate control methods to vary the operating point including parallel and series pumping

PDH Credits
One (1) PDH credits will be issued upon completion of this on-demand webinar series.
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.
North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors
Pump Systems Matter is an approved continuing professional competency sponsor for the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors: Sponsor # S-0523.
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.
