This interactive training unit is designed to introduce trainees to the fundamental operating principles of single-stage and multistage centrifugal pumps. After completing this unit, trainees should be able to describe the general operating principles of a centrifugal pump. Specifically, they should be able to describe the differences between radial, axial, and mixed flow pumps, and describe the basic operation of a vertically-mounted and multistage pump. Trainees should also be able to describe the purpose and the basic operation of a mechanical seal flush system.
