SKU: RVCT-1122

Pumps are essential to virtually all industrial processes and they play critical roles in our everyday lives. Centrifugal pumps convert external rotational mechanical energy into kinetic energy within a liquid. In a centrifugal pump, this is done by accelerating the liquid from the center to the outer rim of a spinning impeller within a pump casing. This course covers the terminology and function of the mechanical components that make up a typical centrifugal pump.
