✦ Synopsis

The main problem with pump piping design is that pumps are a very diverse group. The range of possibilities is very wide. There are many different styles of rotodynamic pump and over 40 different types of positive displacement pump. Pump sizes range from 5 W to about 300 MW. If we discount pump/turbines used for power generation schemes, which are usually built onsite from concrete, and only consider pumps manufactured in factories, the maximum size is reduced to about 47 MW. Obviously, notes Brian Nesbitt, that still leaves a wide variety of piping requirements.
