Hi,

Just moved to another job, which deals with Pumps skids. I am hearing a lot of new lingo which I am not experienced with. Any help with links, blogs and books will be greatly appreciated.

If you need something they seemed to have missed, come on back here.

Pump skids? skid mounted pumps - what sort of lingo are you referring to, hydraulic or mechanical?
