There are several ways to make a
distinction between pumps:
1.) Whether they are driven by a
crankshaft or wobble plate2.) How many cylinders3.) Whether they are piston (cup) or
plunger pumps
4.) The method of crankcase
lubrication
5.) Whether they have a hollow or solid
crankshaft.
A
crankshaft pump which has three cylinders (triplex plunger pump) uses a
crankshaft similar to that of an automobile's crankshaft. The plunger is driven
by the wobble...

Industrial Pumps
The pumps in the General Pump TSP Series are designed to deliver high pressures of up to 7,250 pounds per square inch depending on the model. Pumps in the TSF Series are designed to produce higher flow rates, with the most powerful model providing approximately 12 gallons per minute. In addition to being among the top performing pumps on the market, these units are also among the most durable and feature multi-year warranties as a testament to...

PUMP HP, GPM AND PSI
The
amount of power required to drive a pump intensifies as the desired pressure and
flow increases. Also it generally
requires a gasoline engine
rated at approximately twice the horsepower of
an electric motor to
get the same performance out of the same pump under continuous operation.
To
figure out what horsepower is needed to operate a pump at a certain, desired
flow and pressure, you just have to multiply the GPM (gallon
per minute)...
