Description: Suction specific speed nss as defined in EN 12723 is used to classify the suction characteristics of centrifugal pumps. It is derived from the similarity conditions for cavitation and calculated on the same formal basis as the specific speed ns.; Name: suction specific speed
Description: Speed that characterizes a pumps cavitation performance in terms of its speed, optimum rate of flow per impeller eye at best efficiency point and NPSH3 at best efficiency point for the first stage at maximum impeller diameter ; Name: Suction-specific speed
Description: PN (nominal pressure) is an alphanumeric variable for reference purposes, relating to a combination of mechanical and measurement properties of a pipe component. It comprises the letters PN followed by a dimensionless number (according to EN 1333/96.08); Name: Nominal pressure of the muffs, A1
