    Done with the coffee. Ready to start!

 

    OK... - don't worry - it's easy!

 

        Let's see... Can I lift the pump by magic?

        OK, Doc... Step aside, let us show you how it's done!

 

    

  I see... ANSI pumps have threaded shafts, but you said the API impellers are keyed? 

 

        Next, a seal assembly. And it is a double seal version.

 

  Can we put this external gear pump together before the other group finishes the three-screw pump?!

      OK, guys... Let me show how it's done...

  I think I forgot a screwdriver inside this pump the last time...

      Wait! I feel something moving in the packings...

  OK, guys... Why is this shaft not turning?!

      Well, we better take it apart to make sure...

 

   I told you we did not need these parts!

   

Why do they call it Progressing Cavity pump? Where is it progressing to?  

    

Nice design, and not too difficult... But how is the rotor attached to the drive shaft?

 

    

OK, Doc... It's your turn now - get to the wrenches! We want to see you take this pump apart in 2 minutes, and with eyes closed - and don't tell us it's impossible!
