NPSH Required for VTP
NPSH Required for VTP
(OP)
I am asking anyone out there who knows and can assist me with the issue of NPSH required for a vertical turbine pump. I know how it is calculated and all that. What I need to know is if the requirement changes with each additional stage of the pump. Is it that the requirement given for one stage is the same for five stages, if not what is the ratio of change in the requirement.

The first stage can be lowered (along with the sump depth) to provide the correct NPSH. The first stage can also be lowered into the water as well if one desired to avoid priming issues.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
