wear resistant pumps2

[danielanarine]

Hi all!

The applications of the pumps previously mentioned are oil and water at temps of approximately 85degF.

The data required are for centrifugal pumps.

I could work with pump material for now.

Thank you! :-D

Oil or water is normally not regarded as abrasive fluids, so you normally do not need to consider special material for abrasion resistance. If there are solid particles in the fluid, then we call it sludge or slurry, you may need to consider abraion resistant materials. Also for different solids percentage, hardness, particle sizes, the fluid abrasion is different. Ductile iron or soft stainless steels like 304Ss, 316SS may be enough to handle some sludges, but you may need higher materials for more abrasive fluids, like Alloy 20, CD4MCu, White Iron, Hard Chrome, or Ni-Chrome. Rubber-lining is also commonly used in abrasive applications.
