Pump Piping for Rotodynamic Pumps: 2-Part Recorded Webinar Series

Pump Piping - Practices to Improve Reliability and Operation for Rotodynamic Pump System 

(Based on newly revised ANSI-HI 9.6.6 Standard)

2-Part Recorded Webinar

Overview

This webinar series outlines the adverse effects of poorly designed pump piping which impacts overall system reliability and efficiency. Participants will be able to identify well-engineered pump piping designs that provide a uniform and symmetric fluid velocity profile to the pump and explain how this can help avoid cavitation problems, seals failures, and premature bearing issues. The series will also provide information on correct pump inlet (suction) and pump outlet (discharge) conditions to ensure proper pump performance and optimal reliability and what to do if optimal suction and discharge piping cannot be achieved.

The significant updates included in the revision are -

o expanded content for pump station retrofits,  

o updates to all figures that show pipe straight length requirements,  

o changes in velocity requirements 

o updates to the minimum straight lengths of pipe entering the pump suction.

Course content covers the following:

Session 1

Topic: Will focus on inlet (suction) piping requirements, outlet (discharge) piping requirements, and case studies.

Session 2

Topic: Will focus on wet well connection, pump suction elbows, parallel operation, pump station retrofit or modification, modeling (CFD and physical modeling), general piping requirements, and a final case study.

Each webinar will last approximately 45 minutes of video and followed by quiz.
