Piston speeds infeet per minute for reciprocating boiler feed pump ought not to exceed 10 times the square root of the number of inches in the length of stroke of the water pistons.
Direct acting reciprocating steam driven or power driven boiler feed pumps are generally found to be more efficient for smaller installations

TABLE 57. SCREW PUMPS
Since the capacity and pressure at which Screw Pumps will operate is almost infinite, we can only give some idea of their capacity. Efficiencies range from 60% to 70%.
