The effect of liquid properties on centrifugal-pump behavior under cavitation conditions is examined on the basis of a given pump handling various liquids. A criterion in terms of physical properties of the liquid is established which can be used to indicate cavitation effects on pump performance for various liquids. Test results and numerical illustrations are presented.
