It is necessary to transport 32# turbine oil; since it is used for experiments, some iron particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers have been intentionally added to it. What type of pump would be suitable for pumping such a liquid? Since it is for short-term experiments, the requirements regarding lifespan can be relaxed a bit. The mass fraction of iron powder is 30%.
Centrifugal pumps, peristaltic pumps, and slurry pumps should all work; gear pumps and screw pumps should be avoided as much as possible
The simplest option is the centrifugal pump.
For screw pumps, just add a filter screen in front of the pump!
Choose an air pump that can be used in harsh environments
I’m not sure about the capacity; it seems that diaphragm metering pumps are the best choice
