Basics of Pump Pulsation and Dampening
Date: March 12, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM (ET)
PDH Credits: 1
Overview
This webinar will review how reciprocating pumps start and stop flow with every revolution of the shaft, which results in system pressure pulsations that will be above and below the average. While normal, these pulsations require care in the design of the piping system and its accessories to ensure proper pump suction pressure and reliable pump system operation.
Learning Level - Basic
This course is designed for individuals who are new to the subject matter. It covers basic concepts, skills, and practices. Participants acquire a foundational understanding of the topic and develop basic competencies.
This course will cover introductory content, but attendees would benefit from reviewing the Introduction to Pump Fundamentals On-Demand Training Course.
Audience
This course is perfect for anyone new to the topic including pump system operators, maintenance personnel and new engineers.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants will learn:
- Which types of pumps create pressure/flow pulsation, what issues are created and why are the Issues/problems created by pulsation?
- Explanation of magnitude and frequency of pulsation for various pump types
- Pulsation dampeners general principle of operation of a pulsation dampener
- Types of Dampeners and their pros/cons
- Configurations and their pros/cons
- Charge valve options
- Primary and secondary criteria for dampener specification
- Effect of pulsation and vibration on piping systems
- How analysis is accomplished
- Typical solutions for vibration problems
Continuing Education Credits
Upon the successful completion of this day and passing the required quiz, you will receive a Certificate of Completion. 1 PDHs | 0.7 CEUs | 7 CONTACT HOURs
Note: 1.0 PDHs is equivalent to 0.10 CEUs or 1.0 Contact Hours
