factors that affect performance pumping solids

Both the mechanical and hydraulic performance of a centrifugal pump will be affected when handling a solid liquid mixture. Solids in suspension in the liquid cannot absorb, store, or transmit pressure energy, as can a liquid. Pressure exerted by a fluid on the walls of a container is caused by the bombardment of molecules freely […]

Net Positive Suction Head for Centrifugal Pumps

what is NPSH in centrifugal pumps?

What Is NPSH in Centrifugal Pumps? Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) is a measurement used to determine the ability of a pump to handle liquid without cavitation. Before methods of figuring NPSH are discussed, cavitation should be examined. What Is Cavitation in Centrifugal Pumps? The term “cavitation” for pumps refers to a condition within the […]
