If NPSH(r) is greater or equal to NPSH(a), pump will not prime. 1 Standard atmospheric pressure adjusted for specific gravity of liquid being pumped. 33.9 ft. divided by specific gravity = FT. Note: Specific gravity (s.g.) of water Is 1.0. If specific gravity is Other than 1.0, divide 33.9 by specific gravity to get maximum NPSHa Deductions: A Altitude or elevation Actual elevation. ft Refer to Table A for conversion B. Vapor pressure tt. Temp. °F Liquid: Refer to Table B for conversion CC. Total Dynamic Suction Head: tt. Static Itt ft + Friction loss, D. Safety factor tt. 2 ft for water-lke liquids Y . Total deduetions: —e FT. . Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHa): FT. Subtract 2. From 1. . Net Positive Suction Head Required by pump (NPSHr): FT. Consult NPSH curves at raquired flow Net Positive Suction Head of System: Subtract 4. NPSH(0) from 3. NPSH(@). The result must be a positive number for the pump to prime and operate.
