Q1. What is the difference between centrifugal pump and reciprocating pump
Ans. 
Centrifugal pumps use impellers to move fluid while reciprocating pumps use pistons or diaphragms.
• Centrifugal pumps are more commonly used for high flow rate and low viscosity fluids while reciprocating pumps are used for low flow rate and high viscosity fluids.

• Centrifugal pumps are generally less expensive and require less maintenance than reciprocating pumps.

• Reciprocating pumps are better suited for applications wher...read more
