Pump Type Iconology
Centrifugal Pump
A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to create flow by the addition of energy to a fluid.
Progressive Cavity Pump
A progressive cavity pump is a positive displacement pump that transfers fluid by means of the progress, through the pump, of small, fixed shape cavities as its rotor is turned.
Screw Pump
A screw pump is a positive displacement pump that uses one or several screws to move fluids or viscous fluids along the screw(s) axis.
Twin Screw Pump
A screw pump is a positive displacement pump that uses one or several screws to move fluids or viscous fluids along the screw(s) axis.
Three Screw Pump
A screw pump is a positive displacement pump that uses one or several screws to move fluids or viscous fluids along the screw(s) axis.
