Pump selection process
Thread Content
Experts, I’m just starting to work with this area, and I would like to ask about the process of selecting pumps in design firms, as well as what aspects are taken into account when evaluating pumps
Select the appropriate type based on the medium, and choose the pump according to the transportation requirements, flow rate, and head
Reply to 2# Hai Lian Zhou: So, after the selection is made, what aspects are included in the calculation for the pump?
Preliminary selection is made based on flow rate, head, slurry density, properties of the medium (acidity, corrosiveness, etc.), particle size, etc. After the selection is made, it’s necessary to choose the motor and determine the transmission type
Hello, the owner. When selecting a pump, one should first consider density, head, and flow rate – these are the most important factors. Next, the corrosiveness of the medium needs to be taken into account, as this determines the material of the pump that should be used. The density of the medium is relevant mainly for determining the size of the motor required.
Selection is very important; especially for pumps used in special processes, it is best to have professionals or the pump manufacturers make the choice, as this ensures quality
First, understand the performance of each pump and grasp their advantages and disadvantages in order to facilitate pump selection.
