Description: Relationship between the head of the pump to the flow rate at certain working/design conditions of speed and pumped material.; Name: Pump characteristic curve
Description: pump H(Q) curve where the maximum head and shut-off head are coincidental, and the total head declines continuously as the rate of flow increases; Name: Pump H(Q) curve
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 %
