What pump should be used for corrosive chemical materials with a viscosity of 500 cp?
Thread Content
Good morning, fellow sailors! I have a question regarding pump selection and would like to seek advice from the experts in this group. The fluid in question is chemically corrosive, free of impurities and crystals, with a temperature of 25°C, a flow rate of 25 cubic meters, and a head of 15 meters. The most important parameter is that its viscosity is 500 cp. Has anyone here experience working with such fluids? Thank you!
Chemical centrifugal pumps with low rotational speeds can be used
:handshake Thank you for your reply! But that’s too general. Could you give more specific details? Thank you!
It’s better to choose a positive displacement pump rather than one with too low efficiency
But the customer chose a centrifugal pump:'(
To squander the gifts of heaven” comes from The Book of History·Wucheng: “Now King Shang of Shang acts unjustly, squandering the gifts of heaven and oppressing the common people. ”Tian, pronounced tiǎn, originally means to cut off or exhaust something, and it also refers to the remaining bones after they have been picked apart. :Lol, I still need to ask you – where did you get that idea from? I hope for your guidance! Thank you! :handshake

The customer insists on using a centrifugal pump that isn’t suitable for this task to transport a medium with such high viscosity The centrifugal pump fails to utilize its own strengths, and its potential is not fully realized. Using inappropriate methods to solve problems isn’t it a waste of resources, an increase in costs, and a squander of money? Is it inappropriate to use \"wasting resources\" to describe this?
Thank you for your advice. I didn’t mean to offend; please forgive me! It’s a foreign client; perhaps there was a communication issue, and it’s indeed necessary to explain the situation to them clearly. :)
In cases where the material is viscous, a screw pump or diaphragm pump can be used
