Re: CONC.Reducer at Suction End of Pump

hello

   yes if you place a concentric reducer at the inlet(suction) of a pump then there will be cavitation action. because flow of fluid in pipe is not full ther will be some air in pipe as a result some air which is present in pipe is sucked into the inlet and fromair pocket which called cavitation

   it is a best practice to use eccentric reducer at the inlet of pump to avoid cavitation
