Could an expert recommend what kind of pump to use?

This post was last edited by Fuhua Luojin777 on March 6, 2017, at 11:23. I want to pump crude oil from an underground crude oil tank to another storage tank located 250 meters away. The conveying pipeline is a DN63 PE pipe laid underground; its deepest point is 5 meters below the surface, while the outlet is 3 meters above ground level. There are two elbows in the pipeline. The crude oil in question is light crude oil. The required flow rate is 40 cubic meters per hour. What kind of pump would be suitable for this purpose? What model? Can a DN63 pipe meet a flow rate of 40 cubic meters? Thank you
A general-purpose chemical process pump or an older model Y-type oil pump will suffice. The medium has nothing special about it.
Some say a gear pump should be used, while others suggest a centrifugal pump, etc. I’m not very clear about this and am confused. Could you please recommend a specific model? Thank you
What model of magnetic pump is suitable? What is the head? Thank you
Each manufacturer produces different products, and the operating conditions vary from one manufacturer to another, which leads to different responses. I think what you need to do is clarify the operating conditions with the manufacturer and raise any concerns you have so that the pump manufacturer can give you an answer! If the pumps produced by the pump factory don’t meet their requirements, they wouldn’t dare to supply you either! Just ask two pump manufacturers and you’ll know!
You can inquire about gear pumps available in Botou, Hebei; they should be able to meet your requirements. Contact several manufacturers. Additionally, DN80 can meet the 40 cubic meter requirement
As mentioned below, you can provide these parameter requirements to the two pump manufacturers, and they will give you specific model options
Just provide the pump manufacturer with these required parameter specifications for your factory, and they will give you the specific models
DN65 pipes cannot handle 40 cubic meters; theoretically, DN80 pipes should be chosen. For pumps with a head of around 35 meters, choose oil pumps; there are many of them in Hebei. @Deceiving oneself_T11Qk
DN63 definitely cannot handle 40 cubic meters; for DN80, it depends on the viscosity of the crude oil. Is the pump installed above ground or underground? If it’s above ground, the suction height also needs to be taken into consideration
