Pump Basics 2: Pump Curves
When a centrifugal pump is designed, the manufacturer will test the operation of the pump to the theoretical design. Pumps are tested for flow, head (pressure differential), power consumption, efficiency and minimum allowable suction pressures, also known as Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR). Generally, as the pump handles greater flows, the pressure differential it…
