HI Announces First Webinar in 2015 on Guidlelines for NPSH Margin for Rotodynamic Pumps

08.05.2015

In its continuing effort to provide education on current and important topics to the pump industry, the Hydraulic Institute has collaborated with its NPSH committee members in developing a technical webinar program that focuses on NPSH and its relationship to cavitation and other pump operation.

This course is designed for pump distributors, manufacturers and end users. The NPSH webinar instructs participants on how to calculate the available NPSH, understand how insufficient NPSHA will affect pump operation and what NPSH margin is needed to ensure good performance longevity to pump equipment. Bruce Ticknor, of the National Pump Company, will serve as the course instructor.

Mark Sullivan, HI’s Education & Marketing Director, explains that, “Understanding NPSH margin is critical to ensuring optimum and long-term pump performance,” adding that, “working with HI committee members in developing this webinar that focuses on NPSH is an important achievement as the industry needs education on this topic.”

The one-hour webinar will be conducted Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 1:00pm ET with time allotted for a live Q&A session. Cost is just $119.00, with HI members receiving a 25% discount off the regular registration fee. All attendees earn 1 PDH credit upon completion of the course. HI also offers corporate group webinar site licensing for the lowest prices in training larger groups.

Cavitation occurs in centrifugal pumps when the available net suction head (NPSHa) is lower than the required net suction head (NPSHr). This leads to the formation and accumulation of bubbles around the impeller eye, which then collapse, causing a series of mini-implosions and significant damage to both the impeller and the casing.
