Why You should take this training program
NEW – This course is now available via our interactive Live Online Training format. Live Online Training course length and content may vary from our in-classroom content. Click Here to ask us about the differences.
Increase your understanding and knowledge of centrifugal pumps including their design, selection, operation and maintenance. Moreover, this centrifugal pumps training program will aid you in increasing productivity and reducing costly downtime.
It is important to understand what a pump is and how it works in order to solve problems. There are strong misconceptions about centrifugal pumps. Instructors of your centrifugal pumps training program will explain the basics so that you will be adequately prepared to understand certain design considerations, including sizing. In addition, this course provides the inside information on why and how centrifugal pumps are designed.
Our 3-day (Training Tour) version of this training program includes hands-on lab exercises that demonstrate and reinforce the practical techniques of maintenance and troubleshooting.
