Crude oil is pumped by a _______________ pump?
Correct answer: B. Centrifugal
- A. Gear
- B. Centrifugal
- C. Screw
- D. Reciprocating
Explanation
Centrifugal pumps are widely used for transporting crude oil because they provide continuous flow at the high capacities required in gathering and pipeline systems. Positive-displacement pumps are selected mainly when very high pressure or accurate metering is needed.
