VOLUTE-TYPE PUMP

• Designed to capture the velocity of fluid as it enters the

OUTERMOST DIAMETER of an impeller
• Converts velocity of the fluid into pressure
Pressure increases as CUTWATER
the distance between
the VOLUTE and
IMPELLER increases.
SINGLE-SUCTION PUMP

• Has only ONE SUCTION EYE

• Used in applications where pressure change across the
pump is relatively low
DOUBLE-SUCTION PUMP

• TWO suction eyes

• Liquid can enter impeller from opposite directions
• Minimize effects of axial thrust
APPLICATION

• Centrifugal pumps play an important role in the

creation of oil and gas products.
• Transferring fuels and other types of liquids
