Positive Displacement Pumps is a current reference guide for positive displacement pumps for both traditional and state-of-the-art testing methods, and serves as a bridge between textbooks and manufacturer's literature by providing equipment testing practices based on technical know-how, practical experience, and academic theory. With its simple, practical focus, this book not only is a resource guide to any engineer's task, but also adds important information to the overall literature of pump fundamentals and operating reliability:

• Written for field users, and terminology concisely defined.
• A mentoring guide highlighting areas for troubleshooting problem-solving when performance criteria are not met.
• Produced with industry consensus and gone through the same rigorous technical review process as other ETPC procedures.

The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is a distinguished professional association that strives to provide leadership in advancing the chemical engineering profession. The Equipment Testing Procedures Committee is composed of engineers with substantial experience in the design and operation of process plants, as well as in solving problems that can arise with the equipment used in these plants.
