Why take this course?
This centrifugal-pump course explains pump construction, impeller and flow classifications, operating principles and characteristic curves. It also covers NPSH, cavitation, gas binding, priming and common protection decisions. This self-paced online course includes video lectures and a completion certificate with PDH credits.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• can identify the main components of a centrifugal pump and explain their purpose
• understand how a centrifugal pump converts rotational input into fluid flow and pressure
• can distinguish radial, axial, mixed-flow and multistage pump arrangements
• can read a basic centrifugal-pump characteristic curve
• can recognize cavitation, gas binding and loss-of-prime conditions
• understand the role of NPSH, priming and common protection methods

About the course
The centrifugal pump is the most common and widely used pump today. Its simple construction, low maintenance, and low cost have made it an ideal pump for widespread commercial application.
In this course, you will learn:
How a centrifugal pump works.
All of the centrifugal pumps' main components.
Different impeller and centrifugal pump designs.
How to read a pump performance curve.
How to identify pump faults.
And a lot more!
The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning centrifugal pump knowledge. Even if you already have some background knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Whatever your level of understanding, or engineering background (mechanical engineering, HVAC, chemical engineering, oil & gas industry, power engineering etc.), this course will provide you with a strong understanding of centrifugal pumps and their details.
