Achieved badges:
Q: Identify the correct formula for calculating pump efficiency.
A: (P1 × Q)/(c × H)
Q: Identify the correct formula for calculating pump efficiency.
A: (p x H × Q)/(c × P1)
Q: Identify the correct formula for calculating pump efficiency.
A: (H × P1)/(c × Q)
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: In deep-well pumps, you should check whether the pressure gauge is installed directly at the pump discharge.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: Online monitoring equipment does not check if a parameter has changed or exceeded a preset limit.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: If all the parameters are recorded immediately after the pump has been installed, you can use them as benchmark against future data.
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By increasing the pipe diameter
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By using 2 smaller pumps instead of one bigger pump
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By adding a Tee to the piping system
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: Cavitation can occur when water is flowing in a pipe and a valve is closed too quickly.
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: The MP204 device can protect the pump motor against all possible disturbances that may occur.
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: The only way to avoid sand from entering a pump is through effective filtering before the pump inlet.
