Pump Handbook

This book is very comprehensive and informative. A must have for anyone who deals with or operates pump systems. If you have a problem or question it is covered.

Pump Handbook

Handbook is a term which implies comprehensive coverage of a given subject, so often a term which is misapplied. Not so in this case however, this book is without a doubt one of the best sources of information on pumps and related system components currently in print. For anyone requiring a comprehensive pump resource, this is it. I would definitely recommend this one for the engineering library.

A must for any pump tradesman.

As owner of a mechanical contracting business for over 20 years, the Pump Handbook has been a reference of importance for many areas of hydraulic inquiry. Our specialty is the design build of water and wastewater treatment facility upgrades. The Pump Handbook is well written for not only engineers but also mechanics and maintenance personnel. Much of the information contained in this manual may be difficult for the inexperienced to grasp but the explanations are straight-forward and the information practical. I would recommend this volume for any person who needs to research pump, piping, hydraulic, and other related topics.
