What type of pump is characterized as high pressure/low volume?

The turbine pump is known for its ability to generate high pressure while delivering low flow rates, making it particularly effective in specific applications such as groundwater extraction or in certain industrial processes where pressure is critical. Turbine pumps achieve this by using a series of impellers to draw water in and then discharge it at higher pressure. This design allows them to overcome hydraulic resistance effectively, thus maintaining high pressure even when the volume of flow is limited.

While other types of pumps have their own strengths, they do not typically fit the high pressure/low volume profile as closely. For instance, submersible and centrifugal pumps are often designed for different pressure/flow rate dynamics, with centrifugal pumps generally providing better flow rates at lower pressures. Piston pumps can create high pressure, but they are generally designed for higher volume applications, making them less suited for scenarios that necessitate high pressure with limited volume output.
