    The document discusses the main parts of a centrifugal pump, including: 1) The casing houses and protects internal pump parts and can be made of materials like cast iron or steel. 2) The impeller is attached to the shaft and rotates to impart energy to the fluid being pumped, often made of cast iron or stainless steel. 3) The coupling connects the pump shaft to the driver and transmits power, needing to withstand changes in load or speed.

    Centrifugal Pumps Parts


    2.2.1 The casing is the largest and most visible part of the pump. It can be
    constructed of cast iron, steel, bronze, or other special material depending on
    type of service. The primary purpose of the casing is to house and protect
    internal pump parts.
    2.2.2 An impeller is the part of a centrifugal pump which imparts energy to the
    fluid being pumped. It is firmly attached to the shaft and rotates at the same
    speed as the shaft. Most impellers are made of cast iron, but stainless steel,
    plastic, or other materials can be used for corrosive fluids.
    2.2.3 The coupling which connects the driver to the pump, transmits power
    from the driver shaft to the pump shaft. Couplings must be able to withstand
    sudden changes in pump load or stoppage of the driver. They must be flexible
    enough to handle misalignment between the shafts as well as changes in the
    speed of the driver.
    2.2.4 The shaft is connected to a driver (e.g., electric motor, engine, or steam
    turbine) and turns the impeller. The shaft is usually made of steel and rotates at
    the speed of the driver.
    2.2.5 Bearings support the shaft and reduce the friction as the shaft rotates in
    the casing. They also control the forward and backward movement (thrust) of
    the shaft, and control the side to side (radial) movement of the shaft so that
    rotating parts will not rub against the pump casing. Bearings may be contained
    in the pump casing on small process pumps or in special housings on larger
    pumps.
    2.2.6 Seals or packing are used to prevent or reduce fluid leakage around the
    shaft. Most centrifugal pumps in the petroleum industry use mechanical seals. A
    mechanical seal has a stationary ring secured in a seal gland which is bolted to
    the casing and a rotating ring attached to the shaft. Packing is composed of a
    series of pliable rings tightly pressed around the shaft in the stuffing box.

    Centrifugal Pumps
    The major parts of a centrifugal pump are the casing, impeller, shaft, coupling,
    bearings, and seals or packing (Figure 2.1 & 2.2)
