Why are VS5 structures commonly used in high-temperature sulfuric acid pumps? Are there any difficulties in working with this medium?
The guide bearing of the VS4 structure should be a challenge. It must be resistant to corrosion by high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid, possess good self-lubricating properties, have a low coefficient of friction, and be resistant to wear.

The submersion depth of liquid sulfur pumps is generally quite large, whereas the pumps of the VS5 model, due to their cantilever structure, do not have such a large submersion depth – it is usually less than 2 meters. Additionally, the cost of VS5 pumps is much higher. If VS4 can meet the requirements, then why use VS5?
