Definition of Air Binding from the PharmacyDictionary.in

Air Binding

“Air Binding” is a term used to describe a situation where a vapor cavity interrupts a centrifugal pumping process. This can occur when air or gas is entrained in the pump’s liquid, creating a blockage that disrupts the pump’s operation. This phenomenon is also known as “vapor lock” or “air lock”. It’s a common issue in various industries where centrifugal pumps are used, and resolving it often involves addressing the source of the air or gas entrainment.
