electronic pump catalogs. ePUMP-FLO uses a powerful
web-based search engine to select all the pumps that meet
the user’s specific criteria, from which they can select the
best pump for the application. After searching the chosen
catalog, ePUMP-FLO then creates a list of pumps meeting the
desired criteria. There are several categories for selecting
the best pump and motor including speed, power motor size,
NPSHr, design efficiency, and best efficiency point (BEP).
Pump curves can then be displayed for comparison and
evaluation. Supporting documentation such as dimensional
drawings and cutaway views can also be generated. PUMP-FLO
software supports over 75 pump manufacturers and 65,000
customers in various industries in various capacities. |
