Glossary
Auxiliary Permits water from a pump to cool the radiator water through a heat exchange.
Cooling Valve
Cavitation Caused by the pump attempting to deliver more water than is being supplied. This causes the
formation of water vapor, and liquid water, under pressure, rushes in to fill the empty space.
This damages the pump.
Centrifugal Force that tends to make rotating bodies move away from the center of rotation.
Force
Centrifugal A pump that uses a rapidly spinning disk to create the pressure for water movement.
Pump
Certification Pumper test in accordance with NFPA standards to determine if a pump can deliver its rated
volume and pressure.
Check valve In two stage pumps, there are two swing check or flap valves in the suction passage of the
second stage. They are located in each side of the pump between the suction tube and the
pump body. These valves swing open when pumping in parallel for volume. They are
closed by first stage pressure when pumping in series for pressure.
Clearance Prevent discharge water from returning to the eye of the impeller.
Rings
Compound A compound gauge is graduated to read pressure in pounds per square inch and vacuum in
Gauge inches of mercury.
Dry prime Provides information on the ability of a pump to evacuate air and draft water.
Test
Friction Loss of pressure in hose, fittings, standpipes, and other appliances because of the
Loss resistance between the water molecules and the inside surfaces of hoses, fittings,
standpipes, and other appliances.
G- 1
Glossary
Impeller The working part of a centrifugal pump that, when rotating, imparts energy to water.
Essentially, an impeller consists of two disks separated by curved vanes. The vanes force the
water to move outward between the disks so that it is thrown outward at high velocity by
centrifugal force.
Net Pump The difference in pressure between discharge and suction pressure.
Pressure
Packing Material that maintains an airtight seal at point where the impeller shaft enters and exits
the pump body.
Parallel Capacity position in which each impeller on a two-stage pump works independently into
the discharge.
Positive A pump with a fixed flow delivered to the discharge with each revolution.
Displacement
Pump
Power Valve A valve that uses hydraulic pressure to transfer pump operation from volume to transfer
pressure and vice area.
Pressure The pressure gauge is usually graduated in pounds per square inch only. It is connected
Gauge to the pump discharge manifold, thus indicating pump discharge pressure.
Priming Priming evacuates the air from the main pump and suction hose, thus creating a vacuum.
This allows atmospheric pressure on the source of water to push the water up into the
suction hose and pump.
Priming A positive displacement pump that creates a vacuum to prime the main pump.
Pump
Priming A valve located in the priming line between the priming pump and the main pump. It
Valve remains closed at all times except when priming. The control is located on the
pump panel.
G- 2
Glossary
Pump Shift A midship pump is usually mounted with a split gearbox installed in the drive shaft.
The pump shift moves a sliding gear in the gearbox that transmits power either to the
pump or the rear axle. In road position, power is transmitted to the rear axle for driving; in
pump position, the rear axle is disconnected, and power is transmitted to the pump shaft.
Relay Movement of water from apparatus at a water source to additional apparatus until water
Reaches the fire ground.
Relief Valve An automatic valve which, when activated by the relief valve control, will hold pump
pressure steady when discharge valves or shutoff nozzles are closed. The valve maintains
its given pressure by dumping the pump discharge flow into the pump suction.
Relief Valve A handwheel adjustment valve which, set to control the desired pressure, will control the
Control relief valve to maintain the working pressure.
Series Pressure position in which the first impeller’s discharge is fed to the eye of the second
Impeller in a two-stage pump which then discharges the water from the pump.
Service Test Pump test performed to determine if the apparatus can deliver its rated volume and pressure.
Slinger Ring Prevents water from continuing to travel down a shaft to the gears and ball bearings.
Stages The number of impellers in a pump that are used in series; that is, one following another
in terms of flow. Each impeller develops part of the total pump pressure.
Tachometer Indicates the speed of the engine crankshaft in revolutions per minute.
Transfer A two-position valve in a pump that changes the operation from parallel (volume) to series
Valve (pressure) operation and vice versa (not used on single stage pumps).
