2. Volute (pump) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volute_(pump)

   Pump and volute casing. A volute is a curved funnel that increases in area as it approaches the discharge port. [1] The volute of a centrifugal pump is the casing that receives the fluid being pumped by the impeller, maintaining the velocity of the fluid through to the diffuser. As liquid exits the impeller it has high kinetic energy and the ...

3. Ebara Corporation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebara_Corporation

   Ebara Corporation is a publicly traded manufacturing company based in Tokyo, Japan which makes environmental and industrial machinery such as pumps and turbines. It is the owner of the Elliott Company in the United States and Sumoto S.r.l. in Italy. [5] Ebara also operates through its "WaterKiosk" partnership to supply clean drinking water in ...

4. Fire pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_pump

   The main standard that governs fire pump fixed-place installations in North America is the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 20 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fire Pumps for Fire Protection. [1] Fire pumps are powered most commonly by an electric motor or a diesel engine, or, occasionally a steam turbine.

5. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

   Another type of self-priming pump is a centrifugal pump with two casing chambers and an open impeller. This design is not only used for its self-priming capabilities but also for its degassing effects when pumping two-phase mixtures (air/gas and liquid) for a short time in process engineering or when handling polluted fluids, for example, when ...

6. Gear pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_pump

   Oil pump from a scooter engine. A gear pump uses the meshing of gears to pump fluid by displacement. [1] They are one of the most common types of pumps for hydraulic fluid power applications. The gear pump was invented around 1600 by Johannes Kepler. [2] Gear pumps are also widely used in chemical installations to pump high-viscosity fluids.

7. Liquid-ring pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-ring_pump

   Single-stage vacuum pumps typically produce vacuum to 35 torr (mm Hg) or 47 millibars (4.7 kPa), and two-stage pumps can produce vacuum to 25 torr, assuming air is being pumped and the ring-liquid is water at 15 °C (59 °F) or less. Dry air and 15 °C sealant-water temperature is the standard performance basis, which most manufacturers use for ...

8. Casing (borehole) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_(borehole)

   Casing Diameters of a Borehole Casing Diagram premium gas tight connections on a casing string. Casing is a large diameter pipe that is assembled and inserted into a recently drilled section of a borehole. Similar to the bones of a spine protecting the spinal cord, casing is set inside the drilled borehole to protect and support the wellstream.

9. Casing head - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casing_head

   Casing heads are the primary interface for the surface pressure control equipment, for example blowout preventers (for well drilling) or the Christmas tree (for well production). The casing head, when installed, is typically tested to very strict pressure and leak-off parameters to insure viability under blowout conditions, before any surface ...
