What are the differences between various types of pumps?
Thread Content
In practical use, pumps need to be selected based on various factors such as the medium, pressure, temperature, and flow rate. Many people classify pumps into chemical pumps, corrosion-resistant pumps, and so on. So how should one distinguish between different types of pumps when making a selection? For example, there is a type of pump in which the chloride ion content of the medium is 6000 PPM, the flow rate is 20, and the head is 18. Do you think this pump belongs to the category of chemical process pumps? How to determine the type of pump when making a choice?
The term \"chemical pump\" is merely a general designation, used primarily to distinguish it from water pumps. Many chemical fluids are corrosive, abrasive, or exist under extreme temperatures; they may also be toxic, flammable, or explosive. Typically, the material used for the pump’s flow passages, its structural design, the type of sealing used, as well as the protection rating of the motor are all determined based on the specific properties of the fluid in question. Of course, stainless steel is also required for transporting soft water.
