The flow is smooth and will change according to the system back pressure.

Centrifugal Pump Performance Specs

Are made in materials from CI to Titanium and CPVC, PP, PVDF and many others. These pumps produce moderate pressures ranging from 1 PSI to 100 PSI. The flow rate ranges from 1 GPM to 100+ GPM, with liquids that are less viscous than water, up to 300 SSU on a practical basis.

The Performance specs will depend on the application, environment, and altitude in which the pumps are being operated. Since atmospheric conditions affect pressure and pump head is impacted by gravity, flow rates will vary. Generally, the specs on each pump apply to a range of “normal” conditions. Call us if there are specific or unique conditions in which you will operate the centrifugal pump.

Applications for Centrifugal Pumps

The design of the individual pump will dictate the applications for which it can be used. Some can handle suspended solids - these are the centrifugal trash pumps. While not inherently self-priming, can be adapted to be so.

Applications such as chemical transfer, wastewater, slurries, plating solutions, cooling systems, where a smooth, consistent flow rate is needed are best.
