PC Pump Cavitiation
PC Pump Cavitiation
(OP)
Can a Progressive Cavity Pump Cavitate?
What damage would see if so?
I have experience with Centrif pump and cavitation
but not with PCs
In Centrif you see pitting on the impeller and maybe
tell tale signes in the Mech Seal.
What do you see in PCs
Any advice / Links etc appreciated

I agree with codeeng that the pump manufacturer will be able to tell you what is happening. They will want the viscosity, and inlet piping conditions to give you a better idea. It is REALLY hard to suck peanutbutter through a 1/4" inlet. (had a customer tell me my pump didn't work last week), but a 1 1/2" hose worked a lot better.
