In-line centrifugal pumps are rotodynamic pumps and operate normally primed. In-line pumps are installed in the straight runs of pipelines. The difference between an in-line pump and a standard pump is that the intake and delivery connections of an in-line pump are on one axis.

  The in-line centrifugal pump presented here is used to pump mechanically and chemically non-aggressive liquids. Its range of applications include use in water supply, irrigation and sprinkler systems, and heating engineering systems.

The MT 185 kit forms part of the GUNT assembly, maintenance and repair practice line designed for training at technical colleges and in company training centres. A close link between theory and practice is key to the learning content. The kit is ideally suited to project-based learning with a particular emphasis on ‘hands-on’ work. Independent working by the students is assisted and encouraged. Performing exercises in a small team offers a useful learning format.
