Suction Specific Speed (Nss) is a dimensionless parameter used in pump engineering to evaluate the suction characteristics of a pump. It indicates the pump’s ability to handle fluid at a given flow rate without cavitation, which occurs when the pressure at the pump suction drops below the vapor pressure of the fluid.
