All pumps can create suction cavitation if they are improperly applied concerning suction pressure. This phenomenon is not rare; it occurs when the pump operates outside its optimal conditions. Additionally, the frequency of cavitation increases with higher pump speeds. Proper application and adherence to manufacturer specifications are crucial to prevent cavitation.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, pump system designers, and maintenance technicians seeking to understand and prevent suction cavitation in pump applications.
Essentially all pumps that are applied improperly with respect to suction pressure, yes. Properly applied pumps do not cavitate.physea said:Hello! Do ALL the pumps create suction cavitation (ie bubbles of vacuum inside the water)? Or it is a rare phenomenon? And does it increase with pump speed? thanks!
