INTRODUCTION One of the most common and destructive phenomena operators experience in municipal and industrial pumping systems is the unmistakable sound of gravel passing through the piping. While engineers frequently attribute this acoustic signature to pump issues, the true root cause often lies just upstream. When investigating Strainers Cavitation and Noise: Causes typically track back […]
Introduction In municipal and industrial pumping systems, the selection of check valve technology is the primary defense against destructive hydraulic transients (water hammer) and reverse flow damage. Engineers are frequently faced with a divergent choice when specifying pump discharge control: specifying an active, electrically or pneumatically actuated solution (often synonymous with Rotork actuation on a […]
