Design criteria
Pump head will be maximum at zero flow with continuously
decreasing head as flow increases to insure stable operation of
one pump, or multiple pumps in parallel, at all loads.
Pumps will operate quietly at all loads without internal flashing
and operate continuously with- out overheating or objectionable
noises at minimum recirculation flow.
Provision will be made in pump design for expansion of

NPSH
NPSH
Loss of NPSH
The NPSH required varies with speed and capacity within any
particular pump.
The NPSH required increase as the capacity is increasing because
the velocity of the liquid is increasing, and as anytime the velocity of
a liquid goes up, the pressure or head comes down.
Pump manufacturer's curves normally provide this information.
The NPSH is independent of the fluid density as are all head terms.
