. PUMPS & TURBINES
5.1 PREFACE
This lesson will cover the procedures required for pump equipment, their drivers and the piping connected to them. Two things to keep in mind; first, use Fluor's standards as a guide, and second, the guidelines mentioned in this lesson may be different than jobs you may have worked on in the past. Some clients have their own engineering standards.
5.1.1 Lesson Objectives
Lessons provide self-directed piping layout training to designers who have basic piping design skills. Training material can be applied to manual or electronic applications. Lesson objectives are:
• To familiarize you with the more commonly used pumps, how they operate and some of their uses.
• To know the types of pump drivers.
• To know how to determine where pumps should be located.
• To make pump studies avoiding major mistakes and costly changes, and to show you some of the pitfalls that cause them.
• To familiarize yourself with Fluor's standards on pumps and drivers. (Fluor's standards are a guide; the standards used on your contract may differ.
• To know procedures for checking foreign prints of pumps and turbines.
