Pump Cavitation

Cavitation is a condition that can affect any fluid flow system. Despite it being an ever-present threat, it is not well understood. In the simplest possible terms, cavitation involves the formation of water vapor bubbles that damage metal components when they collapse back to the liquid phase. Here are some common questions and answers that relate to cavitation. To help operators diagnose cavitation remotely, Armstrong offers Pump Manager, a cloud-based subscription service that tracks performance and provides notifications on any issues.
