When conducting cavitation head experiments on a pump, is it necessary to use the medium under operating conditions for the experiment?
It isn’t necessary; water is generally used for the tests, with conversion being done afterwards.
Manufacturers generally use water for testing the net positive suction head of pumps
No conversion is needed~ The required net positive suction head for a pump is a fixed value; it does not change depending on whether the fluid being transported is a salt solution, water, oil, or light hydrocarbons
