Cavitation tests for 'JOYO' primary and secondary main circulating pumps

  • 1. PNC (JP)

Description

The paper outlines the development undertaken to determine the cavitation characteristics of mechanical sodium pumps. Test programmes on cavitation in sodium and in water have been undertaken to predict the condition of cavitation onset in sodium from measurements on water mock-up. Test data show close concordance between the cavitation threshold values obtained in water and those obtained in sodium. (author)
