Industrial Pumps

Viscosity in pumped fluids can cause issues with all kinds of pumps, not least a centrifugal pump.   Plant Services   calls it the “great bugaboo of the industry”. One thing all centrifugal pump suppliers in Canada can all agree on is this type of pump isn’t a great choice for viscosities above 100 centipoise (cP), let alone 300. This calls for a positive displacement pump, usually one that is self-priming. To put this into perspective, the viscosity of honey at 25 degrees is 2,000 cP. According to  Pumps and Systems , viscosity measures the resistance of the fluid to flow at a given temperature. Think of it as fluid friction – or the fluid’s resistance to being pumped.

Magnetic drive pumps (mag-drive pumps) are seal-less pumps usually used in applications that are hard to seal and/or where leakage is a threat to people or the environment. Many industries install mag-drive pumps to avoid downtime for seal issues, or to prevent costly leakage of an expensive pumped fluid. A centrifugal mag-drive pump consists of a drive and driven magnet separated by a containment canister. This sealed containment canister prevents contamination of chemicals due to heat or air exposure that could cause crystallization, sticking and/or varnishing. Read Original Post Here...
