This highly acclaimed 500-page pump application handbook is now in its second edition, published by CRC Press, following nine printings of the first edition.

“Every company that uses pumps and every engineering school should have a copy of this publication in its library.” Excerpt from Pumps and Systems Magazine review of Pump Characteristics and Applications.

This hands-on reference offers a practical introduction to pumps and provides the tools necessary to select, size, operate, and maintain pumps properly. It highlights the interrelatedness of pump engineering from system and piping design to installation and startup. In the updated version, the author expands on many subjects introduced in the first edition and provides new in-depth discussion of pump couplings, o-rings, motors, variable frequency drives, pump life-cycle cost, corrosion, and pump minimum flow.

Written by an acclaimed expert in the field, Pump Characteristics and Applications, Second Edition is an invaluable day-to-day reference for mechanical, civil, chemical, industrial, design, plant, project, and systems engineers; engineering supervisors; maintenance technicians; and plant operators. It is also an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in departments of mechanical engineering, mechanical engineering technology, or engineering technology.
