API Pump

API pumps are a type of pump that is widely used in the oil and gas industry and is characterized by high standards. The abbreviation "API" refers to the American Petroleum Institute, and these pumps are designed in accordance with the standards set by this organization. API pump systems are critical in terms of reliability, durability, and performance, and they are commonly used for transporting heavy liquids.

Working Principle

API pumps can utilize various mechanisms to transport liquids. Generally, these pumps rely on centrifugal or positive displacement principles. Centrifugal pumps work by using the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotor to push the liquid outward, while positive displacement pumps use moving parts to push a specific volume of liquid.
