Centrifugal pumps are the most common machines responsible for the increase in hydraulic energy in a piping system. Their proper design, operation, and maintenance have a strong influence on the performance of technological processes carried out in many industrial units. For the ultra-low specific speed (nq 1ap/d2ap = 0.78, and for zk13 zk12 d1ap/d2ap = 0.81. Based on the obtained results, preliminary recommendations for the construction were made.
