DESCRIPTION:
Practical aspects of reciprocating pumps are combined with theory to provide a convincing explanation of previous mysterious and misunderstood parameters, including liquid acceleration, acoustics, and NPSH. Many tables and charts enhance the utility of the book, and while the subject matter is broad and comprehensive, the language is clear enough to be understood by the engineer and maintenance man alike.. Discusses slurry pumping in detail, especially regarding the relatively new industry of transporting solids in the form of a liquid. Subjects covered include pump types, dynamics, net positive, suction head, pulsation, surge control and more. The most complete collection of technical and practical information on reciprocating pumps ever assembled. Discusses pump theory, design, and maintenance
"All in one little book" according to Jonnie Enloe. The author of this book is deceased but I have talked to his son in Frisco, TX and the company or it's successor is still a go to source in the oilfield industry for pump issues. There is not much else to learn on the subject in an office. The only thing further is hands on experience with one of the many builders or rebuilders of these very sensitive pumps.
