Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water changes its state from vapour to water at low pressure.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water boils at 212°F and changes its state from water to vapour at normal atmospheric pressure.
Q: What causes cavitation?
A: Cavitation occurs when water flows through a pipe and a valve is closed quickly at a low atmospheric pressure
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: Cavitation can occur when water is flowing in a pipe and a valve is closed too quickly.
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: The MP204 device can protect the pump motor against all possible disturbances that may occur.
Q: Identify the false statement.
A: The only way to avoid sand from entering a pump is through effective filtering before the pump inlet.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: In deep-well pumps, you should check whether the pressure gauge is installed directly at the pump discharge.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: Online monitoring equipment does not check if a parameter has changed or exceeded a preset limit.
Q: Identify the true statement.
A: If all the parameters are recorded immediately after the pump has been installed, you can use them as benchmark against future data.
Q: How is the relationship between these three factors described in an equation?
A: P = Q x H x c
Q: How is the relationship between these three factors described in an equation?
A: Q = H x P x c
Q: How is the relationship between these three factors described in an equation?
A: P = Q/H x c
