Welcome to CENTRIFUGAL-PUMP.ORG
This site contains general information on pump fundamentals including the
design, application, manufacture, assembly, testing, installation, operation,
maintenance, servicing, trouble-shooting, hydraulic re-rate, and upgrade of
industrial centrifugal pumps.
To navigate this site
Go to our Glossary for definition of technical terms with links to pages where
specific topics on centrifugal pumps are discussed in more details.
Or, go to our main topics grouped into Concepts, Parts and Auxiliaries.
Concepts include basic concepts such as affinity laws, cavitation, critical
speed, efficiency, head, horsepower, hydraulic thrust, leakage, minimum
flow, NPSH, recirculation, resonance, pump specific speed, temperature,
torque, velocity, vibration, viscosity, etc.
Parts include components such as barrel, baseplate, bearing, bearing
housing, bushing, casing, coupling, cover, flange, gasket, gland, impeller,
key, mechanical seal, motor, nozzle, orifice, packing ring, piping, shaft,
sleeve, strainer, volute, wear ring, etc.
Auxiliaries include items that are not integral parts of pumps but are used in
pumping system or installation, such as motor, hydraulic power recovery
turbine, lubrication system, foundation, sump and sump design, etc.
For list of all pump-related topics go to our Sitemap.
