Fluid Handling Technology News & Innovations
Fluid Handling Pumps can be defined as mechanical devices that add energy to fluids to increase the flow rate and static pressure. All fluid pumps are classified as either positive displacement (Hydraulic) pumps or dynamic pumps and are used to accomplish this process. Fluid pumps are all pumps designed to handle industrial fluid elements. The capability of fluid pumps is influenced by flow rate, pressure, power, head and efficiency.
Fluid pumping systems have a wide range of applications varying from circulating water and pumping chemicals to maintaining pressure. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in fluid handling and pumping systems.
