    Net positive suction head (NPSH) is defined as the difference between the liquid pressure at the pump suction and the vapor pressure of the liquid, expressed as the equivalent height of a liquid column. NPSH available is calculated as the suction head minus the vapor pressure head and any head losses between the source and the pump. It provides a measure of the suction capability of the pump by ensuring the liquid is not vaporized at the pump inlet.

    Net Positive Suction Head definition NPSH for pumps

    Net Positive Suction Head or NPSH for pumps can be defined as the difference between liquid pressure at pump suction and liquid vapor pressure, expressed in terms of height of liquid column. Suction head is the term used to describe liquid pressure at pump suction in terms of height of liquid column. When vapour pressure is also expressed in terms of equivalent height of liquid column, and subtracted from the suction head, the difference is npsh available at the pump suction.

    where, hL is the head loss between 0 and 1, p0 is the pressure at the water surface, pV is the vapour pressure (saturation pressure) for the fluid at the temperature T1 at 1, z is the difference in height z1 z0 (shown as H on the diagram) from the water surface to the location 1, and is the fluid density, assumed constant, and g is gravitational acceleration.
