Nitric acid pump
Thread Content
I would like to ask fellow sailors: the medium is nitric acid, with a concentration of 65%, a temperature of 60 degrees, a flow rate of 30 cubic meters per hour, and a head of 80 meters. Which pump is better to choose: a magnetically driven pump or a shielded electric pump? Centrifugal pump?
A centrifugal pump with fluorine-resistant properties will do; a shielded pump is also an option, and a magnetic drive pump can be used as a fallback. The flow-through components should be made of high-silicon cast iron, and there won’t be any problems with that
Fluorinated lining magnetic pumps are excellent; fluorinated lining centrifugal pumps are also good options
The 304 material should work
A regular 304 material centrifugal pump will work just fine!
Fluoroplastic pumps can be used; they’re not expensive either
