Hi
Pump cavitation is rarely loud at first. But when it finally shows up, the damage is already done.
❌ Impellers eroded.
❌ Unplanned downtime.
❌ Costly retrofits after construction.
In most cases, the root cause traces back to one overlooked calculation: Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH).
🎥 I’ve just released a new in-depth YouTube video that breaks NPSH down from first principles and shows you exactly how to design pump systems that operate reliably — even in the most demanding services.
In this video, you’ll discover:
- Why cavitation is called the silent destroyer of pump systems
- The real difference between available NPSH (NPSHA) and required NPSH (NPSHR)
- How to calculate NPSHA correctly — and what each term physically means
- Why NPSHR rises at high flow rates and why this catches many designs off guard
- How much NPSH margin you actually need in practice
- Proven engineering strategies when NPSHA is too low
- A real-world bubble point fluid case study, one of the toughest NPSH scenarios engineers face
This is not a textbook overview. It’s a practical design and troubleshooting guide based on real engineering decisions that directly impact reliability, safety, and project cost.

If you work with pumps handling hot services, light hydrocarbons, or vaporizing fluids, this video will help you avoid mistakes that are extremely expensive to fix later.
More practical process engineering content is coming very soon.
Best regards,
