Overview

It can be claimed that all advances in modern technology have been dependent upon a rapid developing pump technology. Next to the electric motor, pumps are the most widely used machines in the world. There is hardly a single piece of major equipment that does not in some way depend upon pumps for its successful operation. Three classes of pumps find use today: centrifugal, rotary and reciprocating. These terms apply only to the mechanics of moving the liquid, not to the service for which the pump is designed.

This course will cover the fundamentals of centrifugal ,reciprocating and rotary pumps and compressors. Moreover, their operation, troubleshooting ,maintenance , performance and fields of applications are thoroughly covered.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
