Pump Selection |On-Demand Training Curriculum

Training Program Overview:

The proper selection of positive displacement (PD) and rotodynamic (RD) pumps involves many considerations and relies on established industry guidance, standards and experience. This training covers primary application considerations in the selection of PD and RD pumps, industry standards, and presents a 13-step selection methodology. Finally, hydraulic considerations will be reinforced with an efficient selection example.

Modules:

Module 1: Overview of Rotodynamic and Positive Displacement Pump Types and Application Considerations

Module 2: Standards, Regulations and Labeling

Module 3: Pump selection methodology (13 steps)

Module 4: Efficient selection example (Consider the operating point)

Who Should Attend:
