Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) is an important hydrodynamic parameter in pump operation, particularly in ensuring that a pump operates efficiently and does not cavitate. It is a measure of the pressure available at the suction side of the pump compared to the vapor pressure of the liquid being pumped. NPSH is typically expressed in terms of head (usually in meters or feet).
