Types and Classification of Pumps

 Types and Classification of Pumps

Introduction of Pumps :

Pump is a machine or mechanical equipment which is required to lift liquid from low level to high level or to flow liquid from low pressure area to high pressure area or as a booster in a piping network system. Principally, pump converts mechanical energy of motor into fluid flow energy.
