Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) Pump Types and Design

The Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) pump types are integral to various industries, including oil & gas, petrochemicals, and power generation. These pumps are crucial for ensuring process flow, maintaining safety, and upholding system integrity. As key components in rotating equipment, OH and BB pumps must be understood thoroughly by professionals responsible for equipment performance.

This Overhung Pump Types and Design Training Course and Between Bearing (BB) Pump Types and Design Training Course dives into the core differences between OH2 and BB3 pump types. It offers in-depth insight into their designs, strengths, and operational advantages across applications such as crude oil transfer, water injection, and refinery processes. The course provides an extensive overview of horizontal overhung single-stage pumps and between-bearing multi-stage pumps.

What makes this course stand out is its hands-on approach. Participants will get practical exposure to dismantling, inspecting, and reassembling actual OH and BB pumps. This direct engagement enables attendees to refine their technical abilities by performing tasks such as precision measurement, wear pattern evaluations, and component alignment. Furthermore, the course covers critical aspects like bearing and seal issues, helping professionals enhance system reliability.

Whether you're aiming to minimize downtime, optimize pump efficiency, or boost maintenance strategies, this training equips you with the expertise to drive improvements confidently and accurately.
