Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tests of Centrifugal Pumps, Vol. 77
For the convenience of those not interested in following through the tests in detail, the conclusions reached are stated below. It may be said at this point that nothing perhaps new or startling has been revealed by the results but it is thought that the con elusions reached are amply justified by the facts revealed by the tests and it is earnestly hoped that some of the misapprehensions now apparently existing in the minds of pumping plant owners regarding the behavior and performance of centrifugal pumps may be removed. Statements made as to the characteristics of centri fugal pumps will probably present nothing of novelty to engineers familiar with such machinery but the relatively low efficiencies attained in these tests may, it is hoped, direct the attention of manufacturers and others to the improvement of the common irri gating pumps and to the more general dissemination of informa tion through their circulars and catalogs of the importance of Operating pumps under conditions making fo'r higher efiiciencies.'
