What Does NPSP Stand For?

NPSP stands for Net Positive Static Pressure

Net Positive Static Pressure (NPSP) is a critical measurement in fluid dynamics and engineering that quantifies the pressure available to overcome system resistances in pump and pipe systems. It represents the sum of the static pressure, gauge pressure, and any additional pressure available from the system, minus the pressure losses due to factors like elevation, friction, and turbulence. NPSP is essential for evaluating pump efficiency, ensuring proper fluid flow, and maintaining system integrity in various industrial applications.
