This course helps you select the proper pump from the vast number of options on the market. With our easy-to-follow step-by-step process and quick selection tools, you learn how to select the best possible option.

Cavitation becomes a thing of the past with this NPSH Calculation for Water course.
Learn how to calculate the NPSH properly for the most demanding situations. The course dives deep into all its different aspects and teaches you how to calculate the NPSHa and NPSHr and determine the required Safety margin. This will not only provide you with a more accurate result but also enable you to calculate the NPSH for situations that include pressurized tanks, vertical pumps, self-priming pumps, and a wide range of industries.
Whether math is your second language or not, this course provides you with an easy-to-follow step-by-step process.

Curriculum
1. The importance of proper NPSH calculation
In this chapter, we discuss the importance of a proper NPSH calculation. We dive deeper into the different risks involved with an NPSH calculation and how this influences a pump's TCO.

2. Basic NPSH calculation: In this chapter, we teach you how to make a basic NPSH calculation, a common way to determine the NPSH. This calculation is fairly easy and quick to check the NPSH requirements for simple installations.

3. Advanced NPSH calculation: This chapter teaches you how to make an advanced NPSH calculation. The main difference here is that many more factors are considered to determine the NPSHa and the Safety margin. As a result, you get a very accurate NPSH calculation, which is especially useful in demanding situations where reliability is key.

4. External influences Here, we discuss some of the factors that can significantly influence your NPSH values. This will help you understand these situations in daily practice and provide you with all the tools you need to avoid damaging cavitation.

Exercises
This course comes packed with many exercises, both in Metric and Imperial units, to help you put the theory into practice. A carefully designed workbook includes step-by-step templates, pump curves, and data sheets to hone your calculation skills.

This course includes a workbook full of exercises, cheat sheets, reference materials, and a 3-month access period (which we happily extend on request).
