Pumps made of carbon steel
Thread Content
Why are there so few pumps made of carbon steel available on the market? I checked some information and found that carbon steel is not suitable as a material for pumps. Does anyone know the specific reasons for this?
But many customers still request that the pump be made of carbon steel
Yes, I’ve encountered quite a few. Carbon steel is also wanted to be used for transporting alkaline solutions.
It depends on the operating conditions of the medium; carbon steel pump bodies are still widely used for water pumps and pumps handling non-corrosive materials. Of course, cast iron is commonly used for low-pressure water pumps.
If it’s a genuine carbon steel pump, please give me the contact information of a reliable manufacturer. You can ask for a quote in the future.
Carbon steel cannot be used for pumps; the pump casing requires a certain level of hardness. Compared to cast iron, carbon steel-based pump casings are softer, and pump casings are usually made by casting
It’s cast steel, I guess. If the pressure and temperature conditions permit, fluoroplastic or nylon can be used for the alkali pump, or it can be lined with acid- and alkali-resistant materials, which saves money
There’s no such thing; carbon steel lies between cast iron and stainless steel
Most of the flow-through components of hot oil pumps are made of cast steel
