Description: mean velocity, which is the stroke length multiplied by the number of complete pumping cycles of the piston, plunger or lifting rod connected to the diaphragm per minute (strokes per minute or pump crankshaft speed); Name: piston speed
Description: average speed given by the stroke length multiplied with the number of complete pumping cycles of the piston, plunger or piston attached to the diaphragm per minute (stroke per minute or pump crank speed); Name: piston velocity
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 %
