2000 BCE
The first invention
In the history of the water pump was the invention of Shadoof. -
250 BCE
Rome got different types of water pumping machine
The Greek inventor and mathematician Ctesibius invented the water organ to pull up water. -
1475
Centrifugal pump
Centrifugal pump is another kind of pump listed in writing of the Italian Renaissance engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini. The Brazilian soldier and historian of science Reti identified this pump as the first mud lifting machine -
Pappenheim
The double deep-toothed rotary gear pump. That pump could dispense with the reciprocating slide valves used in the sliding vane water pump. The pump was driven by an overshot water wheel set in motion by a stream. That gear pump was used to feed water fountains. We can see the utilization of this pump in lubricating engines nowadays. -
Piston vacuum pump
The invention of the newer and more useful pump was never stopped at a single place. Otto von Guericke invented the piston vacuum pump. He used the leather washer technology to make the pump leakage-free between the cylinder & piston. -
Packed plunger pump
Sir Samuel Morland, who was a diplomat, spy, inventor, mathematician invented a more effective water pump called the packed plunger pump -
True centrifugal pump
The first true centrifugal pump was developed by the French inventor Denis Papin. He used straight vanes in the pump for local drainage. -
Dutch-Swiss mathematician
Daniel Bernoulli implied Bernoulli’s equation related to the principle of fluid flow. He wrote about this in his book Hydrodynamica. Depending on the theory, Ural hydraulic machinery plant was established at that time -
Steam engine
The steam engine inventor James Watt helped to improve the ideology of the water pump. His steam engine’s connecting rod cranks mechanism could convert the piston’s reciprocating motion into rotary motion. -
Direct-acting steam pumping engine
Used in this period to power canal boats and US naval vessels and also in boiler feed, oil pipeline, and Hydroelectric applications. Henry R. Worthington invented that kind of water pumping engine. -
Curved vane centrifugal pump
Curved vane centrifugal pump is a revolutionary pump which was introduced by the British inventor John Appold. In the same year John Gwynne took the patent of his first centrifugal pump. -
The concrete volute pump
The concrete volute pump for water drainage was pioneered by Stork Pompen of Hengelo in The Netherlands. Sigma Lutin, Lederle, etc. companies started producing the water pumps. An original design of centrifugal pump was developed by British Professor Osborne Reynolds in 1870. -
Gear pumping principle
Internal gear pumping principle was invented in 1886 by Jens Nielson. His company Viking Pump Company designed a pump to remove excess water that was seeping into his limestone quarry from a nearby creek. -
Deep well turbine pump
The first deep well turbine pump was invented by Preston K. Wood in Los Angeles. Worthington Simpson Ltd was diluted in the same year from two different companies. Rotary vane pump technology was different and improved rather than the old gear principle which helped to built sliding vane pumps nowadays. This awesome invention was held by Robert Blackmer in 1889. -
Dickow Pumpen and Hitachi
Dickow Pumpen and Hitachi founded in that year -
Wood screw pump
Inventor and engineer Albert Baldwin Wood invented the Wood screw pump -
Hot oil pumps
Scanpump and CCM Sulzer founded. Byron Jackson produced the first hot oil pumps for the petroleum industry. -
Hot oil double casing pump.
Arai Pump Mfg. Co-founded in 1926. The Pacific Pump Company started producing the first hot oil double casing pump. O.H. Dorer got a patent for the first inducer, which reduced the required NPSH. Inducers did not become incorporated into standard pump lines until the 1960s. Kirloskar launched centrifugal pump. -
Closed-top cylinder pump
The original version of the About-Imo-Pump was designed as a closed-top cylinder pump. -
HMD Seal/Less Pumps established
Hyundai founded. Flygt’s Sixten Englesson, a master of engineering, developed a prototype for the first submersible drainage pump, which is later known as the parrot cage, or B-pump Used in mining for construction. -
Hard metal slurry pump
First hard metal slurry pump was found for hydraulic transport of oil sands talings. -
Structural composite anti-heeling pump
Sims designed and engineered the first structural composite anti-heeling pump manufactured for NCL Cruise lines. -
Separately traded companies
ITT Corporation spin-off into three separately traded companies, creating Xylem, Inc., the world’s largest water technology company. Source
