Multistage centrifugal pumps are generally used for________________?
Correct answer: C. High head
- A. Highly viscous liquid
- B. Low head but high discharge
- C. High head
- D. Slurries of high solid concentration
Explanation
A multistage centrifugal pump adds the head developed by several impellers in series, making it suitable for high-head service. It is not primarily selected for highly viscous liquids or concentrated slurries.
