Impact on Pump Selection
Material compatibility, pump design (e.g., multiphase pumps)
Higher viscosity requires more powerful pumps, potentially positive displacement pumps
Affects pump power requirements and generated pressure
Impacts material strength, pump performance, and seal selection
Determines necessary materials of construction to prevent corrosion
Requires wear-resistant materials, potentially specific designs like slurry pumps
