Information About
This handbook deals first with the theory, construction details, and performance characteristics of all the major types of pumps, such as centrifugal pumps, power pumps, steam pumps, screw and rotary pumps, jet pumps, and many of their variants. It deals with prime movers, couplings, controls, valves, and the instruments used in pumping systems. It treats in detail the systems in which pumps operate and the characteristics of these systems. And because of the many services in which pumps have to be applied, a total of 21 different services—ranging from water supply, through steam power plants, construction, marine applications, and refrigeration to metering and solids pumping are examined and described in detail, by a specialist in each case.
