Centrifugal pumps are negative displacement pumps meaning that their flow rate depends on the pressure on the discharge end.  Flow enters the white/gray piece (in the picture below) and is pushed upward through the black port (perpendicular to the entrance port) by a motor driven propeller.  Each of these pumps are designed to operate efficiently at a given discharge pressure which can be found in the manufacturer's manual.  The flow rate of these pumps cannot be set by Process Controller - it can only turn the pump ON or OFF.  They can only be used with a stamp box as the voltage required to operate them is higher than can be supplied by the stamp box.
