Which model of acid discharge pump should be used for 38% hydrochloric acid?
Pumps made of fluorinated materials can be used; the specific model depends on the required flow rate and head pressure.
Use a magnetic pump with PTFE. Unloading does not require a very high head; an appropriate flow rate is sufficient
The IHF type chemical pump, used for transferring 38% hydrochloric acid, broke down after a short time.
What’s broken? Did it run dry?
The fluorinated lining part and the mechanical seal have been completely corroded
IHF is generally made of the fluoroplastic material F46, abbreviated as FEP; for your application involving hydrochloric acid, IHF pumps will work perfectly fine. Could you send some photos of the damage and corrosion? Let’s analyze them together to determine whether it’s a quality issue on the part of the manufacturer or caused by improper handling at the site.
The fluorine-lined parts and the mechanical seal were completely corroded, so they were returned to the manufacturer for replacement.
