To learn more about selecting centrifugal pumps, go to the Centrifugal Pumps Selection Guide page on IEEE GlobalSpec. Axial flow pumps are one of three subtypes of centrifugal pumps, the others being ...

By forcing fluid through without cupping it, centrifugal pumps can achieve very high flow rates. Centrifugal pumps generate flow by using one of three actions: radial flow, mixed flow, or axial flow.
