Radial flow.
Axial flow.
Mixed flow.
For low flows and high pressures, the action of the impeller is
largely radial. For higher flows and lower discharge pressures, the
direction of the flow within the pump is more nearly parallel to the
axis of the shaft, and the pump is said to have an axial flow. The
impeller in this case acts as a propeller. The transition from one
set of flow conditions to the other is gradual, and for intermediate
conditions, the device is called a mixed-flow pump. Conical
designs also featured in the transition from radial to axial flow
conditions.

Diffuser
Regenerative
Volute Casing
It is like a curved funnel increasing in
area to the discharge port, which converts
velocity energy into pressure energy. Also it
helps to balance the hydraulic pressure on
the shaft of the pump- occurs at the
recommended capacity. Running at lower
capacity can put lateral stress on pump
shaft, increase wear-and-tear on the seals,
bearings and on the shaft itself.

Gaskets
Gaskets, in General...
Basically, gaskets create a seal between two parts. This seal prevents gas or fluid
from leaking, and can even be produced to stop or inhibit electromagnetic
interference (EMI / RFI).
For gaskets to work properly, they typically should be more pliable than the
surfaces they conjoin, molding to the surfaces to ensure a tight seal.
Gaskets are used in the aerospace and aviation, electronics, military, automotive
and transportation industries. Applications include air frames, consumer
appliances, electronics, machinery, compressors, medical equipment, meters,
turbines and valves.
GASKETS
There are many materials from which gaskets can be manufactured...
Rubber materials include; neoprene, Hypalon, pure gum, Viton and food grade
rubbers (FDA, silicone sponge rubbers.
Other soft materials include; compressed sheet, composition cork, felt, vegetable
fiber and papers.
Polyether, polyester and filter foam are three types of foam rubber.
Gaskets can be made of metal such as; carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel,
aluminum, brass and copper.
