Pump Piping and Stress Analysis

Course on Pump Piping and Stress Analysis has been divided into two sections: Layout and Stress Analysis. In the beginning basic fundamentals related to Pump Layout and Piping are explained. Common issues related to NPSH and Cavitation are discussed in detail. Various configurations recommended with respect to temperature and sizes are drawn and explained with the help of 3D views and sketches.

Following Modules have been captured and explained in this Section:

1. What is a Pump? & Common types of Pumps used in our Industry.

2. What is NPSH & Possible Solutions for NPSH problems

3. What is Cavitation and What are the major causes?

4. Important Components on Pump Suction Piping.

5. Discussion on Pump Layout and Piping

6. Layout aspects of Pump Piping

7. Pump Spacing Criteria

8. Pump Seal Concepts

9. Stress recommendations

10. Model/Pictorial views

Stress Analysis: Complete content is prepared by Mr. Anup Dey (Special Thanks for valuable contribution)\
