Centrifugal Pumps.

Centrifugal pumps are commonly used for pumping water, solvents, organics, oils, acids, bases and any low viscosity liquids in both industrial, agricultural and domestic applications.

It is the most common design of pump in use, accounting for over two thirds of pumping applications, and consists of a pump head containing the main working elements of a shaft and impeller, which rotate to produce flow and pressure when driven by a motor.
