Screw pumps are famous for their sturdiness, quietness, linearity of performance and because they convey liquids without pulsation or turbulence; they also have a suction capacity of up to 9 metres of water column in some cases. The low NPSHR, the high efficiency and the quiet operation also allow for high speed. Screw pumps can convey lubricating, non-abrasive, chemically inert liquids with a viscosity of 1.4 to 10,000 cst
