Abstract
To choose the right pump for a given low-NPSH application, more information about the suction performance of a centrifugal pump than a single NPSH value at a given flow rate is needed. Rarely does a pump operate under constant conditions. In practice, it usually operates over a wide spectrum of heads, flow rates, and available NPSH values. This may impose more requirements on a pump than simply operating satisfactorily under a given NPSH.
