Pump selection
Thread Content
Hello everyone, the material has a high density, high viscosity, and contains metal particles at the micron level. The pH is around 12, which is alkaline; the water pump needs to provide a constant flow and pressure, at a rate of 20 tons per hour with a head of 30 meters. What kind of water pump should be chosen? Please give some advice – manufacturers can also be contacted.
As long as it is not pulsed, any pump can maintain a constant flow rate and pressure; the client needs to provide information such as the name of the medium, its density, viscosity, and temperature in order to select the appropriate pump
If you trust me, I can help you choose the right model.
Choose the type of pump based on viscosity: positive displacement or centrifugal
The specific gravity of the material is approximately 170 g per 100 ML of solution. The viscosity is temporarily unknown. Pumps with this parameter are only suitable for pilot tests; larger equipment requires a flow rate of 140 tons per hour and a head of over 25 meters.
