Abstract

The unity pertinent to the stalling branch of the flowrate curves describing the cavitation characteristics of a pump that was revealed earlier is substantiated theoretically. A method is proposed for constructing the cavitation characteristics of a pump on the basis of the interaction between its head characteristics with the characteristics of the hydraulic network. An example of calculation is given.
