Description: relationship between the total head of the pump and the rate of flow at given operating/rated conditions of speed and liquid; Name: pump head capacity 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: total pressure (including velocity pressure) at the pump inlet connection less the liquid vapour pressure at the present temperature of the liquid; Name: net positive inlet pressure
