Which risk increases when a pump's inlet pressure diminishes below its design limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased impeller stress fractures occur because cavitation arises when low pressure causes fluid vaporization; the vapor bubble collapse creates shockwaves on the impeller surfaces. Therefore, mechanical stress elevates, rather than better performance or pipe condition because lower pressure increases void formations.
