This state-of-the-art
facility utilizes
Variable Frequency
Drive technology to maintain precise speed control on units through
600 HP @ 460 volt, and a 4160 volt solid state soft start to achieve a
controlled acceleration up to synchronous operating speed on units
through 2000 HP.
While many pump test facilities still use calibrated motors and
kilowatt meters to calculate power, the torque coupling used by Best
PumpWorks measures torque and speed at the input shaft of the pump.
This data is then used to determine horsepower and efficiency.
Flow is measured by one of three calibrated magnetic flow meters
installed in dedicated metering runs, while calibrated electronic sensors
measure pressure at API compliant metering spools connected to the
suction and discharge nozzles of the pump.
A vacuum pump is employed to reduce pressure on our 16,000 gallon
tank when low NPSHR values are required. Conversely, up to 100 psi
of blanket air pressure can be applied to the tank for those pumps
requiring more NPSHA at their rated conditions.

About Best PumpWorks
Best Equipment was founded in 1978 as an authorized distributor
for Ingersoll-Rand pumps in eastern Texas, with their market quickly
growing to include Houston, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
The company also excelled as a packager of pumping systems,
including piping, valves and electrical controls. When the oil market
declined in 1986, Best diversified its product offering into the surplus
and remanufactured pump business marketing under the name brand
PumpWorks. By the late 1990s, the operations were merged into
Best PumpWorks, which is today one of the largest and most respected
pump distribution companies in the U.S.
