VS4 submersible pump – Pump material selection
Thread Content
The VS4 submersible pump is installed directly inside the customer’s container. The medium is a mixture of naphtha, toluene, xylene, extractants, etc. Generally speaking, how should the material of the filter screen at the pump inlet be selected? Should the same material as that of the overcurrent component be used? The material specified for the pump is API610 S-6. Thank you in advance to everyone for their answers!
It should be carbon steel; anything similar to that used in components exposed to flow of fluid will do. If you’re not confident enough, use 304 instead
Indeed, I couldn’t find any relevant information on the standards. Just select materials according to the standards for overcurrent components!
