Below are six ~5-minute sample clips from the Volk pump training courses that illustrate the theoretical and practical depth of the content. These clips demonstrate the value of the courses to both entry level and experienced engineers and technicians, and to their management.
Clips 1 - 4 cover Cavitation and NPSH. Pump cavitation causes shock loading and unbalance of the impeller, which leads to vibration, higher maintenance costs, and more operational interruptions. The full video set covers related topics, such as what causes cavitation vapor bubbles to form, and how to remedy cavitation in existing systems.
Clips 5 and 6 cover the important pump installation and startup topic of Shaft Alignment, a key factor in pump reliability and service life. Other topics related to alignment such as soft foot and pump start-up procedures are covered elsewhere in the videos.
