Can a gear pump pump alcohols containing solvents? ? Waiting online. . .
There’s no problem, right? . As long as the areas in contact with the medium are not dissolved
What is the material of the gear pump? What solvents contain what alcohols? :L, please be more detailed so that others can give you proper advice
Sure. However, the sealing material is EPDM.
Regardless of the solvent used, it is difficult to ensure lubrication and wear resistance on the tooth mating surfaces. We can simply consider diaphragm pumps
Solvents containing methanol have low viscosity and are not suitable for gear pumps; centrifugal pumps are a better choice.
It should be fine without any problems. We have worked with n-hexane at 0.4 cp.
I’m not very familiar with the structure. But at the very least, it is necessary to ensure that the pump’s sealing materials are not corroded by solvents or alcohols; otherwise, leaks will occur
