A: Flow and head
Q: In their simplest forms, what do pump curves measure?
A: Flow and pressure
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: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
