Vertical turbine pumps
Vertical turbine pumps
(OP)
Hi All,
I just graduated, and my experience is minimal. I was good in school and I do work hard, but still fresh off the boat, and school is nothing like work.
I got my first permanent job and I was assigned to do bid evaluations for vertical turbine pumps. I google alot of my queries, and I came across this website, and I already love it.
Does anyone have any useful resources or tips to get to know pump work & terminologies quickly. I have already looked at the common google-able websites.
I need to know stuff about impeller balancing (static / dynamic), pump performance curves, NPSHr and NPSHa calculations, seals and glands.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your references everyone (The pump handbook is soo good to have.)
if you have any general (but useful !) tips for a new grad in a large cooperation that you think will help, then post!
Thanks

www.pipingdesign.com is a good resource for pipework. There is also some material on surge and its effects.

Listen with the point of view that they are all trying to promote the features of their particular pumps, but remember that pumps weren't invented yesterday, and there are few secrets out there.
They all pretty much do what they do the same way. Everybody has some gimmick that he/she will claim makes his/her product superior, but there isn't much basic difference out there.
A good rep (of any kind) will jump at the chance to educate a young grad, as it could pay dividends to him/her down the road. Both parties benefit.
