Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 76 - The Basic Pump Curve Course
Achieved badges:
Q: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
A: Because duty pumps no longer operate alone
Q: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
A: Because better and smarter control valves are available
Q: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
A: Beause of the use of variable speed pumps for applications with variable demand
Q: What do pump curves help you do?
A: They help you identify and select the right pump for your needs
Q: What do pump curves help you do?
A: They give you the pump’s technical specifications
Q: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
A: Looking for pumps which offer the best efficiency at lower more frequent flow
Q: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
A: Selecting a pump with the best efficiency at the peak flow
Q: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
A: Looking for a pump with a constant duty point
