The pump, being a positive displacement gear pump, will pretty much reach any pressure required to move your fluid UP TO THE POINT that either it runs out of the Magnetic pumps power required to do so, breaks down, explodes, or blows up your piping.  It is rated for continuous duty up to 500 psi, so as long as your piping system does not have a pressure loss of around 500 psi at your required flowrate, it will get it on. pump SG-0519 it looks like it can pump at my desired flow rates, but would it be able to pump an oil at 1,000,000 cSt at those flow rates? In other words, can it pump minimum and maximum listed flow rates (and everything in between) for the entire viscosity range it has listed (1 to 1,000,000 cSt)? Also, if I get a device to control and regulate the flow and pressure of the pump, will I be able to pump any given flow rate at any pressure, or does the pump need a specific pressure to hit a specific flow rate?(i.e. can I pump 5 GPM at 40 psi, 60 psi, 100 psi, etc.?)Again, I am very new to all this, and how all these things correlate to one another and work together is proving tough to understand, so any light you could shed on the situation would be greatly appreciated!
