_____________ pump is the most suitable device for discharging a liquid against a pressure of ≥ 1500 kgf/cm2?
Correct answer: C. Plunger
- A. Centrifugal
- B. Piston
- C. Plunger
- D. Vane
Explanation
A plunger pump is a positive-displacement pump designed for very high discharge pressures because its reciprocating plunger can generate high pressure with low flow. Centrifugal and vane pumps are not normally selected for pressures of this magnitude.
