摘要
In spite of the importance of suction specific speed (S) to cavitation behaviour, some users pay little attention to this parameter when they select and size a centrifugal pump. In this article, Behshad Moradi of PSN highlights the role the S-value plays in the hydraulic characteristics of centrifugal pumps and aims to make users more aware of this important factor. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
