In the previous paper, one of the authors studied theoretically on the growth of the surging phenom ena in centrifugal pumps. To verify the adequacy of this theoretical results, now, they studied experimentally on surging of various pumping systems. Simultaneously they examined the effect of impeller exit angle β
2 on the surging. The result is as follows : (1) The experimental results coincide with the theory. (2) The surging range of volute pump is less than that of the turbine pump. (3) The surging range reduces with the diminution of β
2, but the growth of surging cannot be avoided even in the case of β
2=16°. (4) Pump efficiency at normal discharge reduces with the diminution of β
2, but the efficiency at small discharge does not reduce. When the running at small discharge takes place very often, the preventing method for surging by the diminution of β
2 is somewhat effective.
