Can pump discharge head be negative?
When a pump is pumping water from a level that is below the pump it is called suction head. If the water to be pumped is at a level above the pump, it is positive head. The pump maybe pumping from the base of a tank to a higher level such as an elevated tank or it may be pulling water from a tank that is below the pump. The distance from the center of the pump to the top of the water level would be the foot of head. It takes 2.31 feet to make 1 P.S.I. So if it is 10 feet from the center line of the pump to the water level, you would have about 4.33 P.S.I. of head.
What NPSH stands for and its meaning?
Net Positive Suction Head. It is the difference between hydraulic pressure and vapor pressure, usually of concern at the inlet of a pump. Without sufficienty high NPSH at a pump inlet, there will be cavitation in the pump. Within a centrifugal pump there can be pressures lower than at the inlet as the fluid is moved by the impeller. If any of those pressures is lower than the vapor pressure, vapor pockets- bubbles- form and you get cavitation. A more complete explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPSH
Calculate pump efficiency for submersible pump?
pump eff. = (pump dynamic head x pump flow)/(pump h.p x 3960)flow=gallon per minute
What is the difference between single stage and multi stage pump?
1、 single stage pump refers to only one impeller pump, highest head is only 125 meters; 2、 the multistage pump means to have two or more impeller pump, highest head can more than 125 meters; Multistage pumps in single stage pump head must match two levels motor cases, by adding more impeller number to equip with level 4 motor, which can improve pump using life and reduces the noise, but multistage pumps maintenance is relatively more difficult than single stage pump. 3、 pump actual required head is less than 125 m, can according to pump room area, pump prices (multistage pump price usually higher than single stage pump) factors comprehensive consideration to choose single stage pump or multistage pumps. With the development of technology, single stage impeller pump through improving the speed of the pump to improve pump head, can replace multistage pumps, just the price is more expensive.
What is the meaning of head in hydraulics?
head is the term used for energy in hydraulics
What is the difference between a 5m head circulating pump and 6m head circulating pump?
The 6m head pump can lift 6 meters. The 5m head pump can lift 5m. Note this has no impact on the volume of liquid that is pumped.

Do you pull head gaskets to change the oil pump in a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
there is no reason to pull the head to get at the oil pump.
What is pump head unit?
Pump head unit; is either in Feets fluid- us unit or in meters fluid- metric units
What is negative suction in pump?
Negative Suction Head means the pump is drawing liquid up from below its centerline. The distance between the centerline of the pump and the surface of the fluid is measured in head feet, this can be negative (below the pump) or positive (above the pump).
