This is the complete reference for engineers and designers working on pump design and development, or using centrifugal pumps in the field. This authoritative guide has been developed with access to the technical expertise of the leading centrifugal pump developer, Sulzer. In addition to providing the most comprehensive centrifugal pump theory and design reference, with detailed material on cavitation, erosion, selection of materials, rotor vibration behaviour and forces acting on pumps, the Handbook also covers key pumping applications topics and operational issues including operating performance in various types of circuitry, drives and acceptance testing.It enables readers to understand, specify and utilise centrifugal pumps more effectively. It is a complete centrifugal pump engineering guide. The Handbook covers theory, design and operation, with an emphasis on providing a high levels of rigorous data, design detail,and industry-leading quality and efficiency solutions for high capital outlaypump plant users. It draws on the world-beating experience of Sulzer, the leading centrifugal pump developer, making this a particularly valuable resource.The third edition is updated to cover the latest design and technology developments, applications, test and reliability procedures, cavitation, erosion, selection of materials, rotor vibration behaviour, operating performance in various types of circuitry, new drive technology and acceptance testing.
