The most commonly used pump in industry is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps use the kinetic energy of a spinning impeller to move fluid through a pipe. They are widely used in industrial applications because they are simple, reliable and efficient. They can handle a wide range of flow rates and pressures and are suitable for a variety of liquids, including water, chemicals and oil. They can also be used in a wide range of temperatures and viscosities.
