Question

The maximum suction lift of a centrifugal pump is

• A. 12 meters
• B. 15 meters
• C. 10 meters
• D. 6.5 meters

Hint:

Centrifugal pumps typically have a maximum suction lift around 6.5 meters due to atmospheric pressure constraints.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The maximum suction lift of a centrifugal pump is about 6.5 meters. This is the maximum vertical height the pump can draw water from below its impeller level, limited by atmospheric pressure and vapor pressure of the liquid.
