Description: In solid mechanics, in the field of rotordynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity that excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller, leadscrew, or gear. ; Name: crit. speed
Description: Speed of rotation at which the frequency of vibration (or its multiples) corresponds to the rotor resonant (lateral or torsional) ; Name: Critical speed
Description: NPSH-value required for a drop of 3 % in the total head of the first stage of the pump as a standard basis for use in performance curves; Name: Net positive suction head required for a drop of 3 %
