1 NPSHa  NPSHr + Safety Allowance (Normal case design) NPSHa = Available Net Positive Suction Head, m

Safety Allowance = 1 mH (minimum)

6
2 NPSHa = {[10 ( Pa - Pv)] / rg } ± hs - hfs NPSHr = Required (pump) Net Positive Suction Head, m
Pa = Absolute pressure put on liquid surface of suction side tank.
Pa = 0.1013 MPa 10.33001 m H2O (if opened to atmosphere, it is atmospheric pressure, Normally
T (site) 30 °C 1 atm = 0.1013 MPa), MPa
So, Pv = 4242 Pa Pv = Vapor pressure of liquid at temperature of pump inlet, MPa
0.004242 MPa hs = Height from liquid surface of suction side tank to the center of pump inlet port, m
hs = -4.55 m (Site Condition) water level above center of pump, then --> +
hfs = 1.36 m, (from pressure loss table) water level below center of pump, then --> -
r = 1020 kg/m3 hfs = suction pipe resistance, m
r = Density of liquid, kg/m3
6
Then NPSHa = {[10 ( Pa - Pv)] / rg } ± hs - hfs g = Gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/sec2
NPSHa = 3.800 m T = ambient temperature, °C
