Gear pump is used for moderate viscous fluid.

Soap is not so viscous that you may be used centrifugal pump.

Why don't we use diaphragm pump? where it can be used?

Kashif said:   1 decade ago
Could any one please elaborate?

Diaphragm pump is used for slurry only, here we shall use gear pump due to high viscosity and stickiness of material.

Diaphragm are used when corrosive liquids are handled.

Answer must be a gear pump because centrifugal pumps not used for viscous fluids and diaphragm pumps are used for slurry which is corrosive nature so gear pumps are used for high viscous fluids.
