7 Benefits of Centrifugal Chemical Pumps - Ouopio44 - 01-26-2022
Centrifugal chemical pumps are ideal for many applications, from filtration and circulation to storage and unloading.
Due to their harsh nature, corrosive chemicals must be handled carefully. As designers establish their systems, they must select pumps that are constructed to withstand the specific corrosive chemicals involved in their process.
The main advantage to this type of pump is the initial purchase price. Compared to other types of pumps, such as stamping pump, sewage pump and magnetic pump, the initial investment is typically lower. A secondary advantage is the potential to handle some solids.

3. Smooth Flow
Some pumps produce pulsing flow. Non metallic centrifugal pumps avoid pulsing.
4. Proven Reliability
Centrifugal chemical pumps are a solid choice when reliability is critical. Evaluate design and construction features to ensure the specified pump will be durable enough to operate under the most extreme conditions in the planned application.
What is the viscosity of the fluid at pumping temperature? This affects the flow, head and motor power of the centrifugal pump.
Will the pump be used for solids? If so, the user must identify the hardness, particle size and concentration of the solids. These details affect the material specs of the pump.
What is the application? A detailed description of how the pump in automatic control system will be used allows the manufacturer to spec the appropriate pump.
What other materials are involved? Some materials may be suitable for some chemicals, but they can be negatively affected by certain combinations of products.
What is the ambient temperature range? In settings where the temperature is not controlled, this must be taken into account when selecting the motor and construction materials.
