The centrifugal pumps can be used in so many places e.g. water supply, coolant,.....

And any fluid can pass it.

SO MANY PLACES??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? I think Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system. Not any fluid can pass it, water and oil are more popular.

Just because water and oil may seem more popular, does not mean that's all that will go through it. Look into the links my post above. Centrifugal Pumps have been around for quite some time and are used to move ALL types of fluids, along with some solids.

Centrifugal Pumps are the most common and well-established pumps on the market. They come in many different models and can transfer fluids with high efficiency over a wide range of flows and pressures.

I'll really confuse you all. I install a Bingham split case pump to pump ethylene gas from 850 psi 80F to 1650 psi. so I guess any fluid.

Stay with low-viscosity fluids. Anything like Lyle's Golden Syrup or strawberry jam needs a different style of pump; lobe pumps are good for these fluids.

Blood is pumped better with a peristaltic pump fitted with sanitary tubing.
