Additional Guidelines (when NPSHa exceeds NPSHr)
1) The wider the margin between NPSHa and NPSHr, the better. 20
2) Maximize NPSHa by improving conditions at the inlet of the pump, which
include:
a) raise supply tank or lower pump to increase Hz, 15
b) pressurize supply line with booster pump,
b) use shorter, larger diameter supply line,
c) maintain pumped fluid temp far below "vaporization line" - see "Pvp 10

erature, pressure, and phase of a fluid.

NPSHa NPSHr
 Definitions:
Open System: When the surface of the liquid
being pumped is exposed to atmospheric
pressure. Can be either Gravity Feed Set-up or
Suction Lift Set-up, as shown on worksheet "Hz"
within this NPSH CALCULATOR program.
Closed System: When the surface of the liquid
being pumped is not exposed to atmospheric
pressure. For example, the inlet of the primary
pump is supplied by a booster pump or a gas
charged pressure pot.
Gauge Pressure (Pgauge)
Pgauge = Pabsolute - Patmospheric
Example, at 2500 feet elevation above sea level,
a pressure pot containing absolute pressure of
120 feet of water would show a gauge pressure
reading of 89 feet (120 feet - 31 feet).
Note: if Closed System pressure gauge is
calibrated to show Pabsolute (for example,
PSIA), then do not add Patmospheric to the
Note: for an Open System, use Patm directly off graph in NPSHa worksheet, cell B3. Closed System pressure...it is already accounted
For a Closed System, add Patm off graph above to Gauge Pressure reading in tank or at for.
supply source (for example, booster pump discharge). Convert Gauge Pressure to feet of
water using appropriate conversion factor (for example, PSI * 2.31 = feet of water).

NOTE: When pumping a liquid other than water, Patm from graph above gets converted automatically to
"Feet of Liquid" or "Centimeters of Liquid" in the "NPSHa (feet)" and "NPSHa (centimeters)" worksheets. All
that is required is that the correct value for S.G. is entered into cell B10 in the NPSHa worksheet being
used.
