Understanding Pump Cavitation: Causes, Types & Damage Recognition [Hydro Quick Class]

Cavitation can have serious consequences for pump reliability and performance. This Hydro Quick Class explains why cavitation occurs and how to differentiate between different types of cavitation.

Cavitation, or the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in the fluid pathway, can have serious consequences for pump reliability and performance. This Hydro Quick Class explains why cavitation occurs and how to differentiate between different types of cavitation.

In this training video you’ll learn:

  • Why cavitation occurs in pumps
  • How to differentiate between cavitation caused by insufficient NPSH and cavitation caused by hydraulic instability/recirculation
  • How to recognize cavitation damage on pump components
