arise due to:
Increase in wearing ring clearances due to wear. This increases the leakage
flow to the impeller eye and disturbs the inlet flow pattern
Gas content in the liquid
Improperly designed inlet piping and pump casing that cause non-uniform
suction flow or turbulence
Operation of the pump on the farther right hand side of BEP. In this region, the
NPSH-a reduces and NPSH-r increases.
