A Highly Interactive Training Course On
Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) Pump Types and Design
Theory and Hands-On Training with OH2 & BB3 Pumps
Course Introduction
Pumps are the backbone of fluid handling systems in many industrial operations, making their performance and reliability critical to plant efficiency. Among the most widely used are Overhung (OH) and Between Bearing (BB) pump types, which are valued for their design flexibility and capability to handle a wide range of demanding applications—from hydrocarbons in refineries to high-pressure water services in power plants.
The Overhung Pump Types Training and Between Bearing Pump Types Training course by COPEX provides an in-depth understanding of the design, configuration, and operational differences between OH and BB pumps, including OH2 and BB3 standards. Participants will learn about selection criteria, failure modes, and reliability best practices. A hands-on component allows attendees to disassemble, inspect, and reassemble actual pumps—enhancing their skills in identifying wear, setting tolerances, and aligning critical components.
This course blends technical theory with practical training to build the capabilities needed for effective troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance optimization of rotating equipment in high-demand environments.
Training Objectives
By the end of this Overhung and Between Bearing Pump Types Training, participants will have the technical skills to assess, maintain, and troubleshoot key pump systems effectively:
- Distinguish between OH and BB pump designs and their specific applications
- Perform mechanical inspections to detect wear, misalignment, or clearance issues
- Reassemble pumps in line with manufacturer specifications and tolerances
- Apply preventive maintenance strategies to improve operational reliability
- Diagnose and resolve common causes of vibration and hydraulic inefficiencies
Training Methodology
This Overhung and Between Bearing Pump Types Training combines theoretical instruction with hands-on technical training to reinforce participant understanding. The facilitator uses interactive lectures, technical visuals, and real-world case discussions to establish key design concepts. Participants will take part in group-based practical exercises, including disassembly, inspection, and reassembly of pumps. These sessions are designed to simulate on-the-job tasks, ensuring that participants develop both knowledge and applied skills to enhance reliability and performance in their daily operations.
