Timely detection of the occurrence of cavitation in pumps is very important as it can cause pitting, erosion, and loss of pump performance. Attempts to determine a unique signature of cavitation using vibration, acoustic emission, audible-acoustics, and higher order non-linear modeling techniques have been elusive. We present the results of an experimental study undertaken first to understand the structure of cavitation and develop an effective means for on-line detection of it. By using SpectraQuest Machinery Fault Simulator's pump kit, we can clearly see the cavitation formation.

  • @chrispikeyp - my vote for most sarcastic comment of the month. Well done!

  • interesting video and very informative

  • very interesting video thanks

  • They could haveeither aerated the water or heated it up, apart from operating the pump fast.

  • decapitation due to cavitation :D

  • airpressure? 

  • What method is being used to force the cavitation?
