A thorough guide to centrifugal pumps.

I bought this book when I became the mechanical maintenance engineer in an industrial plant with over 450 centrifugal pumps. I was a junior engineer with no pump experience and this book certainly helped me understand how the pumps work, how to read pump curves, minimum flows, etc.There are still sections in this book that I have yet to read: bearings, shaft sealing, installation and alignment - a wealth of knowledge should I need it.Definitely worth having!
