Discharge capacity of the reciprocating pump is __________ that of the centrifugal pump.

Discharge capacity of the reciprocating pump is __________ that of the centrifugal pump. Correct Answer Lower than

The capacity of a pump has two components, the pump discharge rate and the discharge pressure. The discharge rate is normally measured in gallons per minute (gpm) in English units or liters per second (lps) in metric units. Discharge capacity of the reciprocating pump is less that of the centrifugal pump.
