Cavitation can play a major role in the vibration of pumps during operation. The pump and tank are interconnected by hoses. Valves and manometers in the delivery and intake lines allow various operating conditions to be set. The transparent plastic pump housing provides a view into the interior of the pump during operation. With the accessory set, cavitation can be experimentally induced and its influence on the vibration spectrum investigated. The principal elements of the accessory set are a single-stage centrifugal pump and a storage tank. This enables the formation of cavitation bubbles to be observed.
