Pump Curves

Understanding Centrifugal Pumps and Characteristic Curves

This app will help you to understand -

1) Basic terms used in pumping world.

2) Conversions.

3) Formulas

4) Centrifugal pump characteristic curves.

Once the basic terms, definitions, and concept is clear, This app will move forward to make understand basic characteristic curves. Learning these curves are of most importance for maintenance engineers as most of the maintenance related problems can be solves by comparing the curves with actual data on field. This will not only reduce the maintenance downtime but also reduce maintenance cost, improve equipment availability and reduced inventory cost.

Mastering these curves will help engineers to explore possibility of energy conservation. Few examples are given as to how one can reduce energy consumption with the help of curves and analyzing data on field.
