This discussion focuses on obtaining a centrifugal pump curve and identifying cavitation through auditory and physical signs. To obtain a pump curve, one must measure flow rates and corresponding pressures. Cavitation is characterized by a distinct "gravel" sound and unusual vibrations, indicating that the pump is operating under cavitation conditions. Recognizing these signs is crucial for maintaining pump efficiency and preventing damage.
