Crude oil is one of the viscous and dense products, with according to that reciprocating is appropriate.

It should be screw pump.

Why centrifugal?

Dear Sir,

As Crude oil is considered as heavy whose gravity is generally high, how centrifugal can be used for it. In case of condensate, yes it can be used but this case would be specific not general. Please justify.
