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 100°C 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: Which of the following is one correct method to avoid cavitation?
A: Reduce the friction loss in the suction pipe.
Q: Which of the following is one correct method to avoid cavitation?
A: Increase the flow of the pump.
Q: Which of the following is one correct method to avoid cavitation?
A: Lower the elevation of the suction water level.
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By increasing the pipe diameter
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By using 2 smaller pumps instead of one bigger pump
Q: How can friction loss in a system be minimised?
A: By adding a Tee to the piping system

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: 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
