NPSH - Net Positive Suction Head

Pump ED 101

Two Types – NPSHr & NPSHa

In simple terms, NPSHr is the amount of pressure required at the pump’s suction

to prevent damaging cavitation.

It is a function of pump design.

• A force that acts perpendicularly to the pump shaft

• Forms about the periphery of the impeller due to uneven volute geometry

• A function of total head and the width and diameter of the impeller

• Usually reaches a maximum at or near shut off head

Off BEBOP Flows - Recirculation

Three types of recirculation can occur when a pump is operated to the left side of the performance curve.

Normal recirculation increases with wear ring clearance & reduced flow.

Suction & Discharge recirculation increase as flow is reduced.

The resulting recirculation cavitation will cause internal damage over time.
