In order to calculate accurately the stress and the deformation conditions of the closed impeller of centrifugal pumps in the flow field, "direct-calculation method" and the ANSYS Workbench-based finite element method are separately used to calculate the maximum stress that the impeller bears and the strength check of it have been proceed. This paper has made a comparative analysis between the two methods, and it is shown that the finite element analysis method can more comprehensively show the stress concentration, whereas the traditional method is more focused on the average of checking. Therefore, in terms of the results, it is suggested that in addition to the traditional direct-calculation method, modern simulation software such as the finite element method should be used for the proofread of the impeller in the industry, in order to improve the running safety and the reliability of the closed impeller of centrifugal pumps.
