*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2017*

This is a practical text in plain English that provides a good coverage of pumps beyond that covered in a typical undergraduate engineering program.  A good reference for further self-study for nonspecialists.  The book is mostly using imperial units and repetitively provides equations for differing units.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Pump Handbook
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 2, 2009*

This is an excellent book for anyone involved in specifying pumps.  It presents a very clear description of evaluating pump curves and creating system curves.  It is also extremely helpful in describing  electrical components associated with pump selection; and providing guidance in decreasing energy costs associated with pump usage (most notably the use of variable frequency drives).  Important descriptions to me were on ODP and TEFC pumps, stuffing boxes and mechanical seals (including tandem mechanical seals), power factor penalty, vertical turbine pumps, the meaning of "soft start"; as well as other information.
