“…Currently available results indicated that the suction pressure difference might change the pump vibration states [7][8][9], although this sort of vibration feature has a different appearance in different working flow rates [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, cavitation can be defined as the rupture of a liquid due to a pressure drop [17].…”

The cavitation states among centrifugal pumps can be mirrored by corresponding vibration features. To select the vibration feature target scientifically and objectively for monitor the cavitation states in real time, the analysis method of grey slope correlation with weight entropy was proposed in this paper to explore the relevance between cavitation and vibration features. Thus, the net positive suction head (NPSH) and vibration signal from centrifugal pumps under multiple operation conditions were captured. Moreover, the universal feature targets were extracted from the vibration signal. The grey slope correlation method was applied in the analysis of the positive and negative relevance between NPSH and the multiple operation conditions in a different stage. These feature targets are transformed into the same numerical scale by standardization process. In the end, the final comprehensive coefficient can be attached after endowing power by weight entropy method. These methods can be used to determine the feature targets which have intensive relevance with NPSH. The analysis results indicate that the kurtosis factor, variance, absolute mean, and root mean square obtained from the vibration acceleration signal have stable relevance with NPSH. These feature targets can be used for the proper detection and evaluation of cavitation states in centrifugal pumps. Therefore, the analysis method of grey slope correlation with weight entropy can be used to pre-select the feature targets based on the calculated grey incidence. This method is effective in establishing the relevance between NPSH and vibration.
