Training Course Overview
The Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) Pump Types Course focuses on two of the most critical pump configurations used across various industrial sectors. Whether in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, or power generation facilities, Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) pumps provide the mechanical reliability and hydraulic performance essential for continuous operations. Understanding the design, application, and maintenance of these pumps is vital for maximizing uptime and minimizing operational risk.
This Overhung (OH) Pump Types and Design Course offers both theoretical and hands-on learning, covering OH2 and BB3 pump types in detail. Participants will explore engineering fundamentals, selection criteria, and real-world applications. Through practical workshop sessions, they will disassemble, inspect, and reassemble pumps, gaining firsthand experience with alignment, seal fitment, and critical tolerances. The course prepares professionals to improve equipment performance, resolve operational issues, and apply best practices in pump maintenance for extended service life and enhanced plant efficiency.
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) pump types and their industrial applications
- Inspect pump components to detect wear, misalignment, or assembly issues
- Reassemble pumps following manufacturer-specified tolerances and procedures
- Implement proactive maintenance techniques to improve equipment longevity
- Diagnose and troubleshoot common hydraulic and vibration-related problems
