Which pump is more suitable for an application where very high pressure is required to be developed at moderate discharge?

Which pump is more suitable for an application where very high pressure is required to be developed at moderate discharge? Correct Answer Reciprocating pump

Reciprocating pumps are generally designed to pump in low flow, high head applications. One of the most extreme of these applications is water jet cutting, where only a few gallons pass through the pump per minute, but exceed pressures of 10,000 PSI.
