Understand the pump specific speed to help establish proper tolerance.
Centrifugal Pumps
Rotodynamic pumps include centrifigual, mixed and axial flow pumps.
The equivalent suction lift is equal to the difference between the “vacuum effect” and the net submergence.
Don't forget to take vapor pressure into consideration.
Learn the difference between suction lift and flooded suction.
The first of a five-part NPSH primer series.

Common Pumping Mistakes
The equipment meets the specs and timetable required for critical thermal-control functions.
Emergency dewatering equipment was deployed to handle the aftermath of the estimated 6.9 trillion gallons of rainwater dumped on Louisiana in August.
Despite a downturn resulting from oil prices, the area will continue construction for international events and population increases.
Magnetic couplings improve reliability and safety when pumping hazardous fluids.
VFDs and sensorless technologies are often the best solution for controlling and protecting a centrifugal pump system against failure.
This four-part series explains the reasons behind repeat pump failures and uses a real-world field example involving boiler feedwater pumps.
Reconstruction and infrastructure upgrades require pumps made from durable materials.
The pumping operation experienced an 80-percent reduction in energy use.
Pressure gauges are inexpensive components that can predict the causes of poor reliability in centrifugal pumps and prevent costly repairs and downtime.
