The thickness issue of the ceramic lining on the large and small ends of the desulfurization slurry circulation pump
Thread Content
It is planned to line the large and small ends of the slurry circulation pump with ceramic (silicon carbide). Does anyone know what thickness should be used for this lining? Are there any relevant standards available?
The material commonly used for lining the desulfurization slurry circulation pump is silicon carbide, mainly due to its high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. The thickness of the ceramic lining depends on various factors, including the specific model of the pump, the properties of the fluid, the flow rate, and the intended service life. Typically, the thickness of the silicon carbide lining ranges from 3 to 5 millimeters. However, for specific applications, it is best to determine this based on the pump’s design parameters and operating conditions. If possible, consulting the pump manufacturer or referring to the relevant equipment design manual is the most direct way to obtain this information. As for the standards, those for ceramic linings are generally specified in relevant industrial pump design standards or corrosion protection standards. You can refer to the standards issued by ANSI (the American **Standardization Organization**) or API (the American Petroleum Institute); these standard documents may contain specific requirements regarding the materials and thickness of the ceramic linings. Additionally, it is possible to contact professional desulfurization system suppliers or engineering companies, who usually have ready-made solutions and empirical data available for reference. .
Silicon carbide is a type of ceramic; is it used for the pump’s volute or for lining the impeller?
