This varies from pump to pump because centrifugal pumps can be designed for various applications. The maximum height a pump can pump water depends on size of pipe/water column, friction, power available etc. This is often reffered to as the head of the pump.
A water company would probably have some centrifugal pumps capable pumping to over 300m in a 30 inch main.

What is the disadvantages of centrifugal compressor?
A centrifugal pump cannot pump air, therefore cannot self prime, like a positive displacement pump.
What is volute centrifual pump?
The volute of a centrifugal pump is the tank that holds the liquid being pumped. The centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a swirling motion to pump liquid.
What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?
voloute convord the pressure into volicity and the mixtur of propallere and impeller is called turbine pump
Why the centrifugal pump is called high discharge pump?
for a simple reason because it has high discharge than any other available pump. the centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid centrifugal force = (mass *velocity2)/radius. hence centrifugal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, in this case being the velocity of the fluid. power provided to pump proportional to the force exerted by the impeller.hence higher the power results in higher centrifugal force implying square of the velocity of the fluid. higher the velocity of the fluid higher the discharge of the pump.
What is difference between monoblock pump and centrifugal pump?
A monoblock pump is a small pump that has no base plates, couplings, or guards, which keeps it small. A centrifugal pump is larger, with added features and impellers to give the pump hydraulic lift.
How does water pump work?
The centrifugal pump works in the same way as you use the straw. As the engine starts, the impeller turns which forces the water around it out of the pump's discharge port. ... When the water hits the rotating impeller, energy of the impeller is transferred to the water, forcing the water out (centrifugal force).
What pump will be used as main sea water pump?
It must be a centrifugal pump as the pump supplies water to coolers such as fuel oil ,lube oil and the fresh water generator. Also to reduce the scale formation in the pipes connected the flow rate is kept high. these demands can be fullfilled by a centrifugal pump only
What different between centrifugal pumps and multi pumps?
A centrifugal pump works by using centrifugal force. A multi pump is short for a multistage centrifugal pump with two or more impellers.
When the circulation of water in a boiler is by a centrifugal pump then the boiler is known as?
externally fired
Is turbine pump is a centrifugal pump?
yes that is centrifugal pump because the turbine pump creates a vacuum pressure on pipe.
What is the disadvantages of centrifugal compressor?
A centrifugal pump cannot pump air, therefore cannot self prime, like a positive displacement pump.
About centrifugal pump?
What about it?
What type of pump used for water mist system?
it uses centrifugal pump type to maintain pressure of 120 kg/cm2
How high a waterfall can be made from a waterfall kit?
Manmade waterfall height and flow are inversely related, based on the pump's characteristics, meaning that the height increases, flow decreases. Pumps have a maximum flow rate, and head (height the pump can raise the water at a stated flow). The height and flow table are listed for each pump, so read them carefully for your intended application.
What is a turbine pump and how does it work?
A turbine pump is nothing but a centrifugal pump. It is used for pumping water from deep water bodies to water distribution systems. Please see related link for detailed description and its operation.
What is volute centrifual pump?
The volute of a centrifugal pump is the tank that holds the liquid being pumped. The centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a swirling motion to pump liquid.
Why do you start the centrifugal pump with the discharge valve shut?
centrifugal pump should be fill with liquid to built discharge pressur.chemist.yasser.Naguib
