Self-priming centrifugal pump can be used for________________?
Correct answer: B. All A., B. and C.
- A. Booster service
- B. All A., B. and C.
- C. Pumping industrial wastes
- D. Pumping liquid fertilisers (e.g. liquid NH3)
Explanation
Self-priming centrifugal pumps can evacuate air from the suction line and are therefore useful in booster service, liquid fertiliser handling, and industrial-waste pumping. Hence all three listed applications are included.
