What viscosity of fluid can a centrifugal pump transport?
Thread Content
There is an existing centrifugal pump that was originally used to transport crude oil with a viscosity of around 100 cp; it is now intended to be used for transporting crude oil with a viscosity of around 500 cp. Can this centrifugal pump still be used? What is the highest viscosity of media that everyone has ever transported using centrifugal pumps?
When in use, this efficiency correction still needs to be taken into account; when the efficiency correction value is very low, centrifugal pumps are no longer suitable for use.
We have a pump with a viscosity of up to: 300,000 cps
For medium with high viscosity at room temperature, when transporting it over long distances, heating the medium during transportation along with providing heat insulation is generally considered~~~
It’s possible, but the efficiency is very low, and the flow rate and head may not be sufficient
Yes, but the efficiency is very low, and the flow rate and head may not be sufficient
If the viscosity is high, it’s better to use a screw pump; each type of pump has its own advantages
