摘要
Since the first report on scale effect of cavitation inception with consideration of tensile strength of water was published in 1983 [1], a new technique for measuring tensile strength of liquid named by Dr. A. Keller, as 'Vortex-nozzle Cavitation Susceptibility Meter (CSM)' has been improved and developed through these years of usage. Some interesting concepts and techinque will be discussed in this paper. For example, how to calibrate the 'CSM', how to determine the 'Zero Tensile Strength of a Liquid' and how to determine the incipient cavitation number with consideration of the liquid's tensile strength.
