High back pressure pumps
That's the most useful thing I've read yet, thanks. So basically it would depend on the type of pump. So when I say 'high discharge high back pressure centrifugal pump' I basically mean high operating pressure?- Aksheyac

High back pressure pumps
That's what I assumed as well, but when I look up discharge pressure there are lots of varying definitions, mostly referring to pressure drop. Discharge pressure isn't a technical term I've come across anywhere, which is why I'm a little confused. Some places it's an alternate name for discharge...- Aksheyac

High back pressure pumps
Hi. . Can anyone tell me exactly what back pressure in pumps refers to? What is a high back pressure pump? From what I know back pressure is the resisting pressure so wouldn't high back pressure mean lower discharge pressure?- Aksheyac
