Therefore, in principal, the NPSH value determination of a reciprocating positive displacement pump does not depend on the minimum pressure during the suction stroke but on the toward close to the end of the suction stroke. Based on comprehensive experiments, a method is proposed for calculating ...
The NPSHr by the pump can be taken from the manufacturer's documentation or the pump design program. NPSHavailable: The available pressure head of the system. This is system-specific and must be calculated individually for each system. The NPSH value of the system (NPSHa) should be at ...

*)We can not measure the suction head "close to the impeller". In practice we can measure the head at the pump suction flange. Be aware that - depending of the design of the pump - the contribution to the NPSH value from the suction flange to the impeller can be substantial. Velocity ...
The values for NPSHR are printed across the top of the pump performance curve. Another important factor impacting maximum temperature that a pump can handle is the altitude. As altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. As atmospheric pressure decreases, the boiling point of water ...
available (NPSHa) at the pump’s inlet and the NPSH required (NPSHr) by the pump to operate without cavitation. Cavitation is the formation of bubbles at the pump inlet, followed by their sudden collapse, which can cause permanent damage. The NPSH margin value must be positive to avoid ...
Multiply this value by −1−1 if the tank is above the pump level. You can learn more about the effect of the water height in our hydrostatic pressure calculator. HlHl— Reflects the fluid head loss due to friction in the suction pipe. The above formula represents the NPSH in our sys...
On the bottom right of the chart highlight in yellow, is the NPSHR value for this pump. According to the testing that has been done by the pump manufacturer, this pump will work if the NPSHA value calculated using NPSH Calculator is greater than 8.85ft. ...
First is the required NPSH of the pump (NPSHR). Required NPSH as a function of the pump design is measured and supplied by the pump manufacturer. The second value of NPSH is that net positive suction head which is available to the pump suction (NPSHA). B...
