    The document discusses pumps and piping systems. It describes how pumps can be classified into two types: dynamic pumps such as centrifugal pumps, and positive displacement pumps such as reciprocating pumps. The most commonly used pump in the chemical process industry is the single-stage, horizontal, overhung centrifugal pump. Pump selection is based on the required flow rate and head along with other process considerations like corrosion or solids in the fluid.

    PUMPS & PIPING SYSTEMS - 2

    5.4. PUMPS
    5.4.1. Pump selection
    The pumping of liquids is covered by Volume 1, Chapter 8.
    Reference should be made to that chapter for a discussion of the
    principles of pump design and illustrations of the more commonly
    used pumps.
    Pumps can be classified into two general types:
    1. Dynamic pumps, such as centrifugal pumps.
    2. Positive displacement pumps, such as reciprocating and
    diaphragm pumps.
    The single-stage, horizontal, overhung, centrifugal pump
    is by far the most commonly used type in the chemical process
    industry. Other types are used where a high head or other
    special process considerations are specified.
    Pump selection is made on the flow rate and head
    required, together with other process considerations, such as
    corrosion or the presence of solids in the fluid.
