A single-stage centrifugal pump consists of one impeller rotating on a shaft within a pump casing which is designed to produce fluid flow when driven by a motor. It is one of the simplest designs of pumps available and many variations in design exist to satisfy the duty requirements of applications. Impeller design is changed to accommodate clean, dirty and solid laden liquids, with several mechanical seal types to accommodate variations in applications.
