CHAPTER 1
2- Pumps Classification
1- Function Of Pumps
3-Code and Standards
A wide variety of pumps are used in petroleum industry.
A pump is used to increase the total energy content of
a liquid in the form of pressure increase.
-Move liquids from low level to high level
-Move liquids from low pressure location
to high pressure location
-Hydraulic Systems
-To increase the flow rate of a liquid
1- FUNCTION OF PUMPS
The pumps are used to perform one of the following jobs:
CENTRIFUGAL POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT
DIAPHRAGM
