API Type for Vertical Submersible/Turbine/Submerged Pump 1

[dasumit]

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if there is any difference between Vertical Submersible Pump and Vertical Submerged pump? Is it like Submersible pump has the whole assembly including the motor assembly submerged while it is different for submerged pump?

Also under what API types (VS1-VS7) are Vertical Submersible, Vertical Turbine and Vertical Submerged pumps available with vendors?

Thanks
Sumit Das

A Vertical Submersible Pump is a pump with the submersible motor similar to the Flygt pump.
