Pumps are categorised into one of three main families; rotary positive displacement, reciprocating positive displacement, and centrifugal. Which pump technology is chosen for an application depends on a variety of reasons: the viscosity of the fluid, type of liquid being pumped, its abrasiveness, temperature and duty point required.
Industrial users have several options for handling media. In most cases, the specific application determines which pump type is best. The positive displacement pump is the pump of choice for high viscosity pumped fluids. Read this blog to know how do positive displacement pumps work?
