Flowserve - Pump & System Fundamentals Course - Part 2
Wednesday, September 18, 2024 | 08:00 am - 4:00 pm CST
PDH Credits: 7.0
Course Overview:
Part 2 of the Pump System Fundamentals course is designed to provide the core information on how to effectively select, install, and maintain pumps, as well as assess and optimize systems to operate efficiently and reliably. This is vital information for anyone working in the pump and fluid handling industry who has technical responsibility for products or product management, technical support, or designs or operates pumping systems. Finally, anyone who specializes in assessing and optimizing pumping systems requires an understanding of the core principles taught in this course.
By providing immersive coverage of the pump system, reliable installation, operation, and maintenance, along with applicable methods and calculations for optimization, this course is beneficial for newer technical professionals looking to expand their knowledge or veterans of the industry who want a grounding in the fundamentals.
Part 2 of the Pump System Fundamentals course is designed to be taken following Part 1 or as a standalone course for individuals who have the requisite knowledge on topics in Part 1.
