What are the things to consider when choosing an axial pump?

Pump selections vary depending on the area of ​​use and purpose of use. The longevity of the pumps, the place and purpose of use are among the topics that should be emphasized. There are several important performance characteristics that are recommended to be considered when selecting an axial pump. Let’s share some of these features in a few articles below.
• Flow rate describes the rate at which the pump moves fluid through the system, typically expressed in gallons per minute (gpm). A pump’s rated capacity must be matched with the required flow rate for the application or system.
• As with all centrifugal pumps, the pressure in axial flow pumps varies depending on the specific gravity of the pumped liquid.
• The net positive suction head (NPSH) is the difference between the inlet stagnation pressure header of the pump and the vapor pressure header. The required NPSH is an important parameter in preventing pump cavitation.

What are the axial pump usage areas?

Axial pumps are common pump types. Axial pumps are used in many areas. A few of the axial pump usage areas are as follows;
• Agricultural machinery
• Irrigation systems
• Sewage treatment plants
• Cooling water pumps
• Drainage systems
