Seek a pump capable of transporting hot solvents
Thread Content
As the title suggests, the solvent has a boiling point of 136°C; it is heated to 130°C. What type of pump is safest for transporting it?
Many, standard high-temperature resistant magnetic pumps

Agreed; at such a close proximity to the boiling point, cavitation can easily occur at the pump inlet. It has little to do with the type of pump – what’s important is to determine how much cavitation margin remains at the inlet.
Considering only temperature, a centrifugal pump can be used. But I’m a bit worried that it’s approaching the boiling point and the NPSHa might be insufficient, so let’s first calculate what the NPSHa value is. If NPSHa is too low, no pump can be used.
